Forms and Subforms Help

[Guest]

I am having problems . Please Help. I have an Access 2002 db. One master
form with 2 subforms. If the value in a control = 9 I would like the focus
set to a control in the subform. Sometime it works other times it doesn't. I
keep getting GoToControl is not available.
An example of the code:
If Not IsNull(Me!htDt) Then
DoCmd.GoToControl "subFrmWtBp"
DoCmd.GoToControl "visitNum"
End If
I have also used Me.Active Control with the same results.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Try using the setfocus method instead of DoCmd.GoToControl:

If Not IsNull(Me!htDt) Then
me.subFrmWtBp.setfocus
me.subFrmWtBp.form.visitNum.setfocus
End If

Please clarify ......... "address of your subFrm". What does this mean.

I tried this:
The first time everything appears to be working. The next time I enter a
record with similar conditions I get a message 'Can't move the focus to the
control '
Any other suggestions?

If Not IsNull(Me!htDt) Then
me.subFrmWtBp.setfocus
me.subFrmWtBp.form.visitNum.setfocus
End If

Is the control always visible? What about the subform? What events are you
using to do this?

I'm not sure what might be happening unless there is another event that is
conflicting (ie a form BeforeUpdate event perhaps?) - try moving the code to
the AfterUpdate event of the control and see what happens.
