I want to put an "X" in a certain position
in a field.

I've set the tabStop and can send the right
number of tabs but always get the "X" in the
same position.

Think it might be that the "cursor" is at the
position in the line from the first set of "tabs".

If this is the problem how do I set the cursor
back to the left end of the line?

How exactly are you 'sending the tabs' to the field?
It could be as simple as:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  put tab & "X" into field "foobar"
end mouseUp
