MS Access Forum / Forms / July 2008First field default in form with header & details
Access 2003 When my form opens the cursor defaults to the first field in the tab order of the Details section. Upon opening I want the form to default the cursor to the first field in the tab order of the Form Header section. Any advise is welcome. Hi Roddy, In the OnCurrent Event of the form, put: me.whatevercontrol.setfocus Bonnie http://www.dataplus-svc.com >Access 2003 >When my form opens the cursor defaults to the first field in the tab order >of the Details section.

In Form properties, Event tab, On Current I inserted the code. Upon opening the form still defaults to the first field of the details section. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Look at your form events and see if there is anything running that puts it there. Also, make sure you placed the above code in the form OnCurrent event.

The only other thing running is... Private Sub Form_Load() DoCmd.Maximize End Sub ...as an On Load event. Thanks for trying! > It worked here for me.

Make sure the maximize is the first thing but other than that check your other controls that might be running something. Bonnie http://www.dataplus-svc.com >Yep, I placed it On Current event.
