| OuTLawZGoSu | Why doesn't this work? [code] Private Sub Form_Load() Form1.Setfocus End Sub [/code] Everytime the form loads, it tells me, "Invalid Procedure" and highlights "Form1.Setfocus" This works when I put it in any other command, like Command1_Click() Help? | December 21, 2003, 8:41 PM |

[/quote] Cannot set the focus to the form until it is visible. Try this. [code]Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Show Me.Setfocus End Sub[/code] | December 21, 2003, 10:16 PM |
| hismajesty | Why wouldn't the form have focus when it loads anyway? | December 22, 2003, 6:07 AM |

| OuTLawZGoSu | This is what I was trying to make. I got 2 forms. On the first form, I got a button. when i press the button, form2 shows. When form2 shows, it will have focus. I needed a code where, form2 loads and the focus would be set on form1 after form2 has loaded. Thx a lot, I'm in skool right now so I can't test out the code right now. | December 22, 2003, 3:22 PM |

[/quote] If you want Form2 to load, but form1 get the focus, do this: [code] Private Sub Button1_Click() Form2.Show Button1.SetFocus End Sub [/code] Tested and works. | December 22, 2003, 3:32 PM |
