Cursor in only field on form

[Mike Hughes]

When this form opens it contains only one field. That field has data in it and it also contains a blinking cursor and the text/number in the field is highlighted. Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks

i suppose that it will be by a VBA code
"setfocus" sub or some thing

That doesn't help me much.

Mike,

What I use a lot is a command button that is transparent, I call it cmdDud and use that as the first item in the tab order and in the after update of combo's etc so that the set focus is to cmdDud"

I have created a quick sample for you to have a look at, hope it helps.
