This worked. ThanksPrivate Sub SetTheFocus(Optional ByRef oTextBox As TextBox) If IsMissing(oTextBox) Then Exit Sub Else oTextBox.SetFocus End If End Sub

In a sub I have an optional parameter declared As TextBox. How can I check to see if anything was passed to this parameter? I've tried IsEmpty, IsNull and others and nothing has worked. If a textbox name is passed, then I want to SetFocus to that textbox (which works when I do pass it a valid...

AllowUpDate is set to True, and I still can't edit the darn thing.

I did a forum search on DataGrid and found 80 posts. None of them had any replies, so I'm not real confident about this one, but what the heck. Is it possible to edit data displayed in a datagrid on the grid itself? I can click on a cell, display the text portion in a textbox, write the...

Well, I am overwhelmed with the responses to this, and yes, each and every example has been useful. Thanks to one and all.

What is the difference between using On Local Error Goto and On Error Goto?

I can programmatically connect to a server, or another PC in my LAN, and run a program located on that machine. However, it will display on my console. Is it possible to programmatically execute a program on a remote machine and have the screens for that program appear on the remote console?

When doing Adodc1.Recordset.Delete I get the following error: "Multiple-steps operations generated errors. Check each status value." What does that mean?

Try: Private Sub List1_Scroll() Text1.Visible = False End Sub

Thanks bjd4jc. Works great!

I need to rename a table in an Access database (this is an import database that gets shipped to us once a week, and for reasons too lenghty to go into, I have to rename one of the tables before I can process that data in it.) Here is what I have:Dim ADOCn As ADODB.Connection Dim ConnString As...
