Me.IssueDate.SetFocus

Do you have any code that changes those property settings, perhaps in the forms Load or Open events?

Which event is your SetFocus code in?

[uoghk]

No code to change this control property.
This SetFocus action is in Form_Open.
When in debug mode, it shows the 2110 error and stop on Me.IssueDate.SetFocus line.
But when I press F8, it can pass through and run the rest of coding.

A - I presume the control is either unbound or bind to a editable field?

B - what is the tab Order for the control- if it is the first one it already has the focus so setting it again can cause an error

C - the form open event is probably too soon to be setting focus as the controls have not yet been populated - try the current event

Thanks Ajax.
I put the code to Form_Current, then it works.
I also test to set the Tab Order to value other than 0, it will also receive 2110 error.
