Focus on linked forms

C

C Tate

I have a form with two linked subforms on it. The first subform is quite long.

When I open the form I want the focus of the subform to be on the first
field. Quite often it is half way along and I have to scroll all the way back
to the start before I can enter a record.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

on the main form LOAD event, try this:

me.subform_controlname.setFocus
me.controlname.setFocus

WHERE
subform_controlname is the Name property of the subform control
controlname is the Name property of the control you wish to have the focus

Warm Regards,
Crystal
