GoToControl on record load

[andymac]

Hello,

I'm using a barcode scanner to enter ID numbers into a combo box on a form.. I've got it to do this much - scan the barcode, and then the form loads the relevant record. Great - now I want, that when a barcode is scanned, it makes the next field the 'live' field (the one with the cursor in it).

Hope that makes sense

Andrew

Try adding the following to your code;

Me.YourControlName.[URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa205181%28v=office.10%29.aspx"]SetFocus[/URL]

Use SetFocus. If you're using VBA

Me.TextboxName.SetFocus

This is what happens when the phone rings while typing.
