I have done this many times in the past and don't understand why I am getting
this error message: "Microsoft Accass can't move the focus to the
control....".

I am using a single form with three option groups: frame2, frame 12 and
frame25
an input box, for entering data to a record, a command button to update the
record and a list box. The list box is used to display information only.

Frame12 and frame 25 are set to .visible = false when the form opens.
Frame2 sets the .Visiable bit for frame12 and frame25 depending on the choice.

Frame12 and frame25 have 5 options each. As an option is selected such as
Office, Dept, Computer, Printer, ect... a list box is populated with the
currently enter data.
If there is a new Office, Dept, Computer, Printer, ect... the new data can
be entered with the input box.

The record is updated by clicking the command button which updates the
record creats a new record sets the input box to NULL and sets the focus back
to the input box. That is where the error happens. I am unable to set the
focue to any of the controls on the form.

Does anyone have an idea what is going on?

Thanks for your help... Dan
 
Dan,
Are you trying to set the focus of an input box that isn't visible yet?
What frame is the input in?
