I have a continuous (sub)form in which customer details are displayed, when the user selects a row, the full customer details open up into the main form for editing.

The only problem is that the focus goes to the first field in the first row, I would rather the first record was selected without the focus being anywhere in particular (like it is when the user clicks on the record selectors)

Is this possible?

Don't know if this is what you want but you could add a gash control to the form, make it invisible and pass the focus to this control.

Thanks for the suggestion, but you can't set the focus to a control that isn't visible.

Mike I have place a txtbox on a form then set the Tab Index to 0 to make it first in order. I then grab the sizing handles of the txtbox and reduce the size of this control to a point where you can not see the cursor when it has focus. This is kind of a "cheezy" way of doing it, but it should work.

Cheesy it is, yes, and it kind of works, but it doesn't select the entire record in quite the way I would like, but it's the best suggestion yet, so I may have to stick with it.

Thanks for your help
