blinking cursor question (RLi)

[Rob]

I have a continuous form.
In the form header there is an unbound field called filterfield.
in the onload event of the form i placed
filterfield.setfocus
The filterfield is the only accessible field on the form (enabled and
unlocked).
The other fields have enabled set false and locked set true.

When i open the form and there are records shown in the details section of
the form, the filterfield does get the focus, but the cursor is not visible
nor blinking on it. I have to click on it first to see the cursor blinking
(so i cannot start typing immediatly)

Can anyone tell me how to correct this behaviour (how to get it blink)?

In the onload event of the form

docmd.gotocontrol ....

should work

FYI
Me.ControlName.SetFocus
Is the preferred syntax
