Set the default field for form veiw

[amer]

When I oped my database the field that is active is at the bottom of the form. I have to scroll up to get to the top.

How can I change the default so when I open the database the field that is active is the first one at the top. Better yet can I have no field selected so in order to type something in I have to click on it.

With the form in design view, on the Arrange tab is a button called Tab Order. That's what you use to set the order of the controls. You could make a button first, so the user would have to click to enter. You can also determine whether a control is in the tab order by setting its Tab Stop property.
