Set Focus

[dhstein]

I'm getting an error message : Run-time error 2110 Micro can't move the
focus to the control btnMyButtonName.

I think it may be that the focus is already there. So my question is what
method shows where the focus is right now - so I can put out a MsgBox for
debugging? Thanks.

That's not the reason. Something else is prohibiting focus. The usual reason
is that the button's visible property is set to No.

Arvin,

Thanks for your reply, but the button's visible property is set to "yes"

I know it isn't because it already has focus because you can add a button
(CommandWhatever) with code that states

Me.CommandWhatever.SetFocus

and it won't break. Click on the button gives it focus. First try setting a
stop (breakpoint) and stepping through your code to see when it actually
breaks. If that doesn't help, try posting the rest of your code for the
routine that you are getting the error.
