I have forms with large memo fields and when they open the memo field is
always highlighted.

How do I tell Access to open a form with no focus on any field?

Thx
 
I don't think you can. Something has to hae the focus. Ad a field and make
it the first field to get focus. You can make it invisible if you want.
 
If I understood it right
you are trying that the form should not be opened with focus on memo field

Try this :
Focus it on any other field or button which is not a memo field in the
form_load event setfocus to some other field.

So I how can I change the focus to another field, like a Yes/No checkbox that
means nothing?

It would be OK if the focus wasn't on a 20-page chunk of text that has to be
deselected everytime that the form opens.

Thx.
 
Sorry about that. I changed the Tab Order.
