Forcing Cursor To Specific Record/Field On Continuous Screen?

[(PeteCresswell)]

I've got a screen that has a subform containing an indeterminate number of
records.

When the user clicks "Change", I put the screen into Edit mode by unlocking all
the subform's fields, setting the subform's.AllowEdits = True, .AllowDeletions =
True, and .AllowAdditions = True.

At this point, all the records are showing plus that empty record that becomes
visible when .AllowAdditions=True.

What I'd like to do is force the cursor to the first field in that empty record.

Anybody been here?

I think you should be able to combine .SetFocus and gotorecord, perhaps
something like

docmd.gotorecord,,acnewrec
me.controls("txtTheFirstControl").setfocus

Bingo!
----------------------------------------------
4053 With Me.subTasks
4054 .SetFocus
4055 !txtBeginHoursMinutes.SetFocus
4056 End With
4059 DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
----------------------------------------------

Thanks! I had never even heard of .GoToRecord...
