want to set focus in find

[Guest]

I have a command button for find record. I want to get the find button to set
focus on the form to invoice number only, any ideas on the syntax for code in
VBA? Cheers!

Something like this?
Me.[Invoice Number].SetFocus
before your Find code.

Point to note in your naming convention the use of spaces can make things
more difficult for you in future use the _ instead of space then you don't
need the [ ]

e.g. Invoice_Number

there are systems out there that cannot read the space properly.
