Problem With Set focus

Guest

I always seem to have problem with setfocus. I want the user to return to
txtRMANumber ids the first character of the RMA Numer doesn't = the Prefex of
the customer

If Left(Me.txtRMANumber, 1) <> Me.txtCustomerPrefix Then

MsgBox ("The First Character of the RMA should start with " &
Me.txtCustomerPrefix & " Please return to Form and Correct, Thank you")
Me.txtRMANumber.SetFocus


Exit Sub

End If

I tried it on events - after update and Lost Focus and the focus ends up in
the next tab field. If I use on before update I get a run time error 2108.
Is there some rule I'm not following??
Thanks for any assistance

Try using the before update event and setting Cancel to True.

You can't set the focus back to the control using the Lost focus event.
