if then statement to check for location of focus

[crowegreg]

What is the correct syntax for a if - then statement to determine if a specific text box has the focus? Thanks!!

See if the ActiveControl property does what you need.

I found screen.previouscontrol, but I can't figure out the syntax for the if/then statement. Here's what I have, a textbox named "individual", I have a button that the user is able to click on, on the click, I need to determine if the screen.previouscontrol was me.individual. This is what I've tried, if screen.previouscontrol = me.individual then. But this does not work.

I figured it out.
if screen.previouscontrol.name = "individual" then

Thanks for your help!!

In VBA help they do this:

Dim ctlPrevious As Control

Set ctlPrevious = Screen.PreviousControl
If ctlPrevious.Name = "txtFinalEntry" Then
