The Use tabbing for scraping keywords check box is used with applications like Microsoft Access. This type of application has a single floating active control; therefore, this is the only control that can be uniquely identified by Application Enabler. Application Enabler uses the tab order and the floating control to navigate to each keyword location. It grabs the value and moves to the next control in the tab order until all keyword locations have been tabbed to. At that point, Application Enabler knows what value you clicked on and will return the documents for that screen based on the value specified.
