Urgent HELP!

[joe_madeira]

Hey,

I set the background to a text box to "Transparent" but every time I open a form access automatically selects the first text box ( the transparent text box) which makes that text box turn white. How can i stop this from happening? When the form opens is there a way to stop access from automatically selecting the first object whether it be a command button or text box?

Any help is much appreciated!

In the On Open Event for the Form, You can use SetFocus to change the Control that gets the Focus. Maybe this will be what you are looking for.

all you need to do is change the tab order in design, 'tab order is located on the menu ribbon when you are in design mode. You can also change the tab stop to false in that text box, enter design mode, right click on the text box and select properties. Then click other and enter false for tab stop.
