SETFOCUS on a new form; new field on COMBO BOX 1

[wacks]

hey! its my first time to join this discussion group coz i am just an amateur to Visual Basic Programming.

* upon opening a new form, i want to 'setfocus' my cursor to a particular textbox (new form) upon entering a command button (previous form). inserting my setfocus command in the form load creates an error... pls help

* i have a combo box with values in it. is it possible to insert new values inside that combo box?

thnx so much

Hi Wacks,

The error you're getting in form load is because the Text1.SetFocus is statement is been executed before the system has a chance to draw the form/textbox object.
Instead try:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Show
Text1.SetFocus
End Sub

To add to a combobox
Combo1.AddItem item '
