GotFocus

[Bill]

I have a right-click popup function that
needs to know the name of the control
that has the focus, i.e., the user has
right-clicked on a control, but I don't
know which one?

In the belief that I need some form of
GotFocus, I've so far been unable
to determine the name of the control
that currently has the focus?? This has
to be easy.....been a long day.

For the name of the control that has the current focus:
Screen.ActiveControl.Name

for the name of the control that had the previous focus:
Screen.PreviousControl.Name
