Set Cursor Position in first field of new record on form

[Solola]

I'm trying to make the default cursor location the first field of a new form. I have the form's property Data Entry set to Yes, but that didn't do it.

So, I tried the following code on the On Load property of the form, but when I try to load a new record, I get a Compile error: Method or data member not found (and it highlights SetFocus as the error):

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.nmdp_rid.SetFocus
End Sub

I also tried an if statement to determine if it's a new record before setting the focus, but that doesn't work, either (same error message).

What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, no luck with the Activate event. Same error. Oh well.

Well, if you want to pursue it further try to explain exactly what's in the form. I'm not sure but it might have to do with this header/detail setup you have. Maybe the records in the detail are not part of the form per se but acting as if some kind of subform perhaps. Dunno...
