How to remove the focus from a form

[jayz12]

I know this may sound simple, but I've forgotten how to do this.
I have a form which only displays the result of a query. No data entry is required here.
So how do I remove the focus form all the records so I don't get a field highlighted in black when it is first opened?.

Thanks in advanced,
Jay

Go into the form design, double click on a field. On the data tab, there is an option for Enable. Make that NO, and no one will be able to even click in it. if you want them to be able to click (to say highlight it to be able to copy the text), then use Lock, if it's locked, they can click and highlight, but not change it.

hope this helps.

Hi.
I think you might mean that you don't want a cursor visible anywhere on the form. I recall in that situation, I made all the controls "No" for Tab Stop on the property sheet, "Other". Then I created a small unbound text box to receive the focus (Text Stop = Yes) made in invisible in format (I think). In any case you can make the text box tiny and hide it somewhere in the form.
