blinking cursor in first field on form

[wilkob]

I have a form which is linked to a table and where users enter details on outgoing shipments. When opening the form I have to click in the first field to start entering data. Same happens when I moved to the next record.

is it not possible to have the cursor blinking in the field when you open the form or move to a new record.
I tried this with SetFocus but it did not do what I wanted

This is going to sound obvious, but have you tried messing the tab settings? Also you can set the some of the behaviors you mentioned with Tool->Options->Keboard...

Hope this helps, Ken

I have set the first field as tab 0 and have just changed the keyboard settings, but this didn't do the trick :-(

When the form opens, what gets the focus?

sorry for the late reply.

when I open the form I set the focus on the field "CompanyName"
This field has also tab 0
