I have created a create new record macro button using the
wizard. I would like to have it so that when the new
record button is clicked, it automatically places the
cursor in the first text box of the new record. Is there
a simple way to do this?

Thanks!

Peter.
 
Hi Peter,

Add to the code that the wizard created for you:

DoCmd.GoToControl "name of textbox control"

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
