I have two buttons for record navigation (created with wizard) one for next record and one for previous record. Is there a way to add a default field selection for after the new record is selected (ie: Finish with current record click next record, and have first field on form selected for data entry.)?
Would this need to be done in the buttons code, or would it need to be added to the forms OnRedraw event (not sure if that is even the right event, maybe initialize?)

thanks again for yourtime everyone.

In the oncurrent event use the setfocus method, check the Help file for details .
This is the sample code from the help file
The following example uses the SetFocus method to move the focus to an EmployeeID text box on an Employees form:

Forms!Employees!EmployeeID.SetFocus

Hope this helps
