Re: Defaulting to a control

Sue,

I guess I'm not following the flow here. Do you think that creating a new
record will take you our of the last control you were in and then fire the
LostFocus event? I don't believe it will.

Try placing [Caller Detail].SetFocus in a button ClickEvent with the Button
also opening a new record or on the CurrentEvent of the form,

If Me.NewRecord Then [Caller Detail].SetFocus

God Bless,

Mark
