Turn off highlighting

[Isidore]

It seems that by default, Access automatically highlights the contents
of first visible field in the tab order. Is it possible to avoid this
so that when a record is viewed, no field is highlighted?

Thanks in advance,
Isidore

Code the Form's Current event to set the focus to a check box,
or create an unbound control, sized Height 0", width 0", and set
focus to that control.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately I'm a complete novice at coding.
Could you suggest code?

Thanks again,
Isidore

No code required.
Menu -> Tools -> Options
Keyboard TAB

In the "Behaviour entering field" group select either:
Go to start of field
or
Go to end of field
