Invalid qualifier on simple SetFocus

[uoghk]

i have a form with Record Source is a Account Table with a field AccName.
i use a textbox (named AccName) with Control Source set to AccName field.
when i set focus to this textbox, i get compile error : invalid qualifier

Me.AccName.SetFocus

I always rename controls so Access doesn't get confused - I would name the text box "tbAccName" (tb = textbox)
Do a "Compact and Repair".

You could delete the text box, do a "Compact and Repair", then re-create the text box bound to "AccName" (rename the control as above).

should adopt a naming convention and while at it, avoid reserved words, spaces and special characters (except possibly underscore, which I don't use)
I find this one a bit too expansive (e.g. I only use qry for query preface and let the icons in the nav pane tell me which type it is if I forget)
