cannot disable command button 1

[NewTexican]

Forms![person f].Form.Command20.SetFocus
Me![person address Q subform].Form.Command14.Enabled = False

I keep getting an error saying that this command has focus and I cannot disable it. Can you see what is wrong with me redirecting my focus.

He he - the focus is a strange thing, you have form focus and control focus. On a form a control has focus even if the form doesn't, so you'll need to setfocus to another control on the same form as the command button is on, prior to trying to alter it's enabled property. Perhaps something like this:

[tt]Me![person address Q subform].Form!txtSomeOtherControl.SetFocus
Me![person address Q subform].Form.Command14.Enabled = False[/tt]

my extreme focus on focus has affected my ability on focus. You fixed it. I'd be dead without this forumn. Thanks.
