Go to Specific Field

[Roger Bell]

I have a Command Button on a Form to allow a new record to be inserted.
What I would like is that when this button is clicked the cursor moves to
the nominated field in the new record.
Can I add some code to that already shown to achieve this?
On Click Event Procedure:

Private Sub Insert_Record_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Insert_Record_Click


DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec

Exit_Insert_Record_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Insert_Record_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Insert_Record_Click

End Sub

Thanks for any help

Hi Roger,

Use the SetFocus method:

Me.ctlMyControl.SetFocus

where ctlMyControl is the name of the control you want the cursor to go to.
