New Records

[JJT]

I have a form with a command button that adds a new record. My problem is that after
I get the new record, I have to click into the first field before I can begin data entry. How can I get the cursor to begin in the first field ?

In Form design, you can open properties box and go to your tab options. Tab stop =yes for those you want to enter data in, otherwise no. Then you can also set your tab no order.

If you have 9 tabstops = yes, then at the last one tab twice and your new blank record appears. Also look at your help tab, tab stop etc.

JJT,
Just add the following code to the "Add New Record" command button:

me.yourfieldname.setfocus

This will work for you.
