Want to be editing Textbox upon Form Opening

[Bill Bisco]

Dear all, In my form, I have several users type in values. When my form opens by default it is like this:

I would like it to be like this:

By Default, Even though the Part # Textbox is the first Index Tab, the user currently has to hit tab or select that textbox with their mouse.

How can I make it such that by default when this form opens, that text box is in edit mode and the user can begin typing away immediately?

Sincerely,

Bill

Check Tab Order and Tab Stop - Tab Stop on Date should be No.

In the On Load event of the form put;

Me.YourControlName.SetFocus

For the On Load event for the form, try
DoCmd.GoToControl ("control name").
Don't forget the double quotes around the control name.
