-1- formname.activecontrol or
-2- screen.activeform.activecontrol
will return a ref to the object that has the focus.

The value will be null if there isn't a control on
the form that has the focus(case 1 above.)

The value will be null if there isn't an
active form or there isn't a control on
the active form that has the focus(case 2 above.)
