How do you set which field is active when you open a form? I have a 1 to many set, when I open my form the embeded browse is active not the parent.

Set the tab order.

Open the form in design mode, Arrange menu, Set Tab Order.

John,

for this question

How do you set which field is active when you open a form?

Check "Activate an Object" from Help

Activate an Object

Overview

The Activate an Object action gives focus to an object in an open window. This is a useful action for guiding the user, as well as for repetitive data entry.

Performing an activate action multiple times on a form allows you to step a user through a process, giving focus to subsequent required fields so that the user does not need to tab or click to get to necessary fields.
