    Can I force an InfoPath browser form to open at the top of the form

    Wne my InfoPath form loads in the browser the cursor moves to the first editbale field on the form.  In many of my views this is in near the bootom of the form, with many read only fileds at the top.  How can I make InfoPath display the top of the form when the form loads?

     

    Thanks,
    Tom

     You can put an invisible field on your form and set it to read-only. Then you can do this (like in the image):

     

    Hope this helps...

     I'm sorry, you said you already have read-only fields. Then, the only thing you should do is set the value of some top field to "0" (like I did in my image)..

    Thanks for getting back to me,

    I tried setting one of the first read only fields to tab order 0, but the form still moves to the first non-read only field (which in my case is a file attachment control).  Have you experiecned this?

     

    Thanks again,

    Tom

     Well, the only option I found is a button with no rules. Set its size to 1px. I know this is not the best idea, but is the only one I found.

     

    Hope this helps, Tom.

    Thats an awesome idea. I was struggling with it for 2 weeks. It works perfectly fine.

    Thank you. Button idea is the best.!

    Thanks,
