cannot get focused on detail without using the mouse

[Nancy]

I cannot move from header to detail without using the mouse to click on
detail. I have tried using

1. the GOTOCONTROL feature from a field in the header to one in the detail

2. the following event procedure for a GotFocus event as described in a
previous subject posted:

Private Sub txtTransferToDetail_GotFocus()

Me!NameOfFirstControlInDetailSection.SetFocus

End Sub


However, both methods still force me to use the mouse on the detail subform.


Thanks for your help,

Thanks - but that gets me to my combo box in the detail section. However, I
still have to click on it to be able to type anything in it. I would like
the user to not have to use the mouse at all - just type in the text using
autocomplete.

thanks,
Nancy

I put my form in "one-step" debug mode to check things out. -- I am using
Access 2007.

Using the simple GOTOCONTROL I can go from the header control to the combo
box in the detail section. However, I still need to 'click' on the mouse to
type anything in my combo box. How can I enter text (using autocomplete)
without using the mouse?

Thanks,
Nancy
