Nothing is wrong with SetFocus. You are probably trying to
do it in an inappropriate event.

To what object/event is that code attached? And where is the textbox in
relation to that object?

Hi there,
If you put the SetFocus in your textbox's After Update event (or some other
events - maybe) and have a Msgbox (or something else ?), the .Setfocus may
not working right. Try:
OtherTextBox.Setfocus
txtMyTextBox.Setfocus
