>On several forms I run into a problem with the focus being set on the initial record in a table. After doing an append blank, I issue a thisform.field1.setfocus() command. The focus is not set. After the 1st record is saved in the table and the next record is appended, the setfocus works properly. Anybody run across this? Thanks...

Jamie,

The SetFocus method is used to activate a control on a form, not a record. If you want to move the record pointer you need to issue a record navigation command like go bottom or go top. If you're doing an append blank, the record pointer will already be at the bottom (last) of the table and your form will reflect this is you issue a thisform.refresh()

Once you've refreshed your form you may want to use SetFocus to activate the first textbox by using a thisform.controlname.setfocus() where controlname is the name of the control you want to move the focus to.

Hope this helps,
