How do I make a form open and select a specific field?

I have my main menu open when the file is opened.
How do I have a specific field selected when the form opens?

Use the tab order and make that control the first in the list.

If you care to reatain look and feel of your form you can use setfocus in the OnOpen event property of the form. I personally think Rurals way is cleaner, but this is another option should you feel like you need to keep your form as is.

I have the tab order set to 1,
When the form opens the control turns yellow as it should.
If I start typing nothing happens, I have to click or tab twice toget the cursor to be flashing in the control box.

Any suggestions?

When you remove *all* of the code from *all* of the events in that control, does it then work correctly? If so, start putting the code back one event at a time until the problem returns.

[newtoAccess]

are you saving to delete all code for that specific control?
Whe not just create anew one?

Fixed it.
