setfocus on textbox in control array

[barbola]

I have a control array of six textboxes and in another subroutine I would like to set the focus on the first textbox for user input.

textbox(0).setfocus is incorrect

Is there a simple way? You would think??

thanks.

Hi Barbola:

I tested the textbox SetFocus with an array of textboxes. There was no problem. Can you give the error message that occurs?

It just tells me that is not the correct way to use setfocus. It's on a diff computer, so I will check later.

I did find this, and will try it later:

Text1(Text1.LBound).SetFocus

Maybe the first textbox in the array is not Zero. Check the form to see if the Index is zero

 

[barbola]

Yes the first textbox index is zero, and

Text1(text1.lbound).setfocus worked perfectly.

thanks.

Aha. You were saying TextBox in the original post, and Text1 in the subsequent one. Perhaps therein lay your problem.

actually, no, i was just using whatever as an example. In my program it was another name LOL. I'll try to work on consistency in my posts from now on.

Are you getting an invalid procedure call or argument error? Do you have the code in the Form_load event? If so try moving it to the Form_activate event.
