get focus on a field in a form

[Guest]

Hi
I have created a form for entering kilometers on vehicles to enable exam
planning when I put the mileage in one field I have a formulae that works out
the average.
Now what I would like to do is put this in a comment field and then carry on
entering the data
Is there a way of setting the focus from one field to another enter the data
by the formulae and thecome back to the current field

You dont have to move to the control to put something in there, just say:
Me!Comment = Me!Average
If for some reason you do need to move the focus, the syntax is
Me!Comment.setfocus

Thanks for the info
I have a problem inplementing as the field is actually called exam comments
therefore I presumed that I would have to us Me!Exam Comments --which gives
me a compile error expected = due to the space

re: > Me!Exam Comments --which gives me a compile error expected =
due to the space

1) That's what brackets are for.
Me![Exam Comments].SetFocus

2 A good reason not to use spaces in a field name.
