How can I send the cursor to the first field in a form after using the Next Record command?

[rgraben]

I designed a form in Access 2013 which asks for students to sign into a computer lab. Once they've entered the required fields I have a Next Record button on the form which they are instructed to click once finished. How can I make the cursor go to the first field for the next student to sign in, w/o requiring them to click on it themselves?

Try setting TabOrder property.

Or maybe need code that sets focus to the control.

Me.controlname.SetFocus

The Tab Order won't do it; when navigating between Records, the cursor stays in the Control that last had Focus before the move.

June7's code will do it; place it in the Form_Current event:

Private Sub Form_Current()
  Me.controlname.SetFocus 
End Sub
