set focus to a contrel on a parent form from an evennt on the sub

[markjkubicki]

simple

from an event on a subform (with no parent child relationship) I want to move focus to a control on the parent form
i.e. when you click this cmd on the subform, an event happens, and focus moves to a control on the parent form...

behind the sub, I thought this code would work:

Private Sub cmdAccept_Click()


<do stuff >
With Forms![frmMainMenu].[cmdFixtureSchedulePrint]
.Enabled = True
.GotFocus = True ' <---- this line results in a "object doesn't support..." error
End With
Me.cmdAccept.Enabled = False

-----------------------------------------
many thanks in advance,

It's .SetFocus, and no "= True"

when all else fails... check the obvious
(guess today should be one of these "no major decision" days!) LOL

thanks

which lead me to a new problem...

I'm not able to disable the control whose event I'm in

Private Sub cmdAccept_Click()
...
With Forms![frmMainMenu].[cmdFixtureSchedulePrint]
...
.setFocus
End With
Me.cmdAccept.Enabled = False

I would think that since I've just set focus to another control, I
t would be OK to disable this control (but maybe since I'm still in the event of that code, I can't)
Would it make sense to move the code to disable cmdAccept to an event on the control I am moving focus to?
and if so, behind which event should that be?
