Is there an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. If so switich it to AF.

If not the lens is a gonner.

Did you buy an auto focus lens? The D40/60 doesn't have a motor, you would of needed an auto-focusing lens.

sorryonly read the "my 18/55mm lens will auto focus " bit.

Doesnt sound too promising then, take it to jessops or jacobs, and ask them to have a try of it? Worth a go at least
