Popup form used for memo error message on close

[burrina]

Hi, I have a popup form that uses a memo field on my form and you can edit/view in a much larger window that on the form.


I am getting a error message when I close the popup form:
Field on Customers form control source (Customer Notes) named (Notes)
Field on form (frmCustomerNotes) is unbound. Name (TxtDescription)

Error message is; Run-time error '2185'
You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.

Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms![Customers]![Customer Notes] = Forms![frmCustomerNotes]![TxtDescription]
TxtDescription.SelStart = Len(Notes) 'HERE IS WHERE CODE ERRORS OUT AT.
DoCmd.Close
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Forms![frmCustomerNotes]![TxtDescription] = Forms![Customers]![Customer Notes]
End Sub

Which form is each procedure behind?

Main form is Customers where I use a command button to open the popup form:
Private Sub Command367_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command210_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "frmCustomerNotes"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

Exit_Command210_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command210_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description


Resume Exit_Command210_Click


Ok, popup form is open and you can enter any changes or whatever you want.Then when the form closes is where the error come in. Here is the close code:
This is for the form frmCustomerNotes

Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms![Customers]![Customer Notes] = Forms![frmCustomerNotes]![TxtDescription]
TxtDescription.SelStart = Len(Notes)
DoCmd.Close

If you are closing frmCustomerNotes why bother with SelStart method on TxtDescription?

Set focus to the control first.
