Set focus

Nandini

I created some forms having controls like text box, combo box etc. I dont
want to set focus to any of the controls of any form. I want to set focus the
form as a whole, when it is opend. I used Access2003. What should I do.
Please help me any way.
Early response would be appreciated.
With regards,

Hi Nandini,
access always sets focus to the first control in the tab order.
If you put a command button on the form and make it transparent, visible,
and very small, you can set its tab stop to yes and make it the first
control on the tab order.

When the form opens, access will set focus to that control, nobody will
notice that.
