1. Is there a way to programatically remove the focus from the form; ie, so
the focus is not on any control on the form?
2. Is there a way to programatically set the focus to the same place as is
done when the form opens; ie, the first control in the taborder which is
visible, which is enabled and whose tabstop property is True?
I have a form with forty two small subforms and I want to code the Enter
event of all the subform controls to open a dialog form and when the dialog
form closes, I don't want the focus on any of the forty two subform
controls.
Thanks!

No, something always has to have the focus. You can however use a
transparent button and set the focus to that. A trick here is to use a
normal button and set it's .Transparent property in the open event as
setting it in design mode will make it transparent in design view and
difficult to find on the form :-)

Thank you for responding and the suggestion for Question 1!
How about Question 2?

I'm not sure what exactly question 2 is, it looks like you're asking to
do something that is already done: "the first control in the taborder
which is visible, which is enabled and whose tabstop property is True".
Isn't that what happens anyway?

When the form opens, focus goes to "the first control in the taborder which
is visible, which is enabled and whose tabstop property is True". I'm
looking for a way for Access to identify that control when I click a button
and set focus on it with out my code explicitly specifying that control.
Thanks,
Melissa

Ah, I see.
DoCmd.GotoPage 1
should do what you want.

During testing <div style="overflow:auto;"> in CSS I noticed the
mousewheel would work in Mozilla only after I made a <a href="#">some

It appears as if Mozilla needs to have the focus set on that div in
order for the mousewheel to work. That's all that link does. The
mousewheel works perfectly in IE without the link. It scrolls the div
even if there is a scrollbar on the page.

I want to set a control in a form to have the default focus.
This is not the accept button -- that's set to a button when is

order, since it's not at the top of the window, and it seems silly to
start the tab order at it just to fix this issue. I cannot call
