[AccessD] Senior Moments Galore today

Hi Arthur:

I have no idea of which version of Access you are using so things in the
latest versions may be quite different...but, off the top, in the properties
of each field, on a form, there is a "tab index" property which is used to
set the focus order. (1, first field, 2, second field and so on...) ;-)

HTH
Jim

I built a bound form. I added a textbox to the form header, and I expected
this to get the focus upon opening the form, but instead the focus is going
to the first field on the form.

Easy enough to fix of course. Just set the focus in the OnOpen. But why do
I have to do that? I would have thought that the natural order would be
Header, Detail, Footer unless otherwise specified.
