Setting focus to field

[davesmith202]

I want to set the focus to my Name field whenever I click one of the navigation buttons. How?

Thanks,

Dave

By "name" do you mean a person's first name? "Name" is a bad field name to use because it's a reserved word. Do you mean a person's first name?

And when you say navigation buttons, do you mean the built-in nav buttons on the form, or buttons you've created to browse records?

Have you tried this?

Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

Forms!Person!FirstName.SetFocus

End Sub

Or am I completely off here?

after yuo move to the new record, the current event will occur

so in the current event you want something like

myname.setfocus
