Cursor starts in a field

[darkhat01]

How do I make the cursor start in the field I would like it to?

Example: Currently it starts in the last name, but I would like it to start in the first name.

Thanks,

Have a look at the SetFocus method (in code) or at the TabIndex property (in design view).

Hope This Helps, PH.

Here is what I think is happening, I have 5 sub-form in a form the focus is staying on the last form, if I try to move the mouse wheel it turns to the next record in the subform called "Walkthrough" It should change the main form. The main form is called "DataPlan".

If I try to change the SetFocus I get an error, if I do a DoCmd.GoToControl "ID" on the main form I get and error.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I tried it at the end of the sub form called "Form_Current()" I type Me.ID.SetFocus

ID being the field I want the cursor to go to.
