Cursor Positioning

[Colin Hammond]

I have a lot of data to input using a form with a subforms. If all the
fields in the sub form did not need to be filled in for the last record the
cursor starts off in the wrong place when tabbing into the form; the
operator therefore has to use the mouse. I would like to use a button that
takes me to a new blank record with the records set so that I can tab
through without using the mouse and the cursor already to go in the first
field. Any tips?

I am not at all sure what you want.

First, are you having the problem with just the sub form or also with
the parent form?

Do you want the curser (focus) to move from field to field in the sub
form always starting in the same field and progressing in the same order,
or do you want it to start in different fields and-or progress in
different orders depending on the data in other fields of the sub form or
the parent form?

Does your question involve jumping from record to record in the sub
form?

I want to start with the focus in the first field of the main form and
progress through all the fields in the main form and progress to the first
field in the sub form and progress through those. The fields in my sub
form become less and less important so quite often the operator does not
tab to the end of the sub form. When he enters the next record the focus
in the sub form starts off in the wrong position. Also when I use a button
to make a new blank form available the focus on the new form is the
button.
