MS Access Forum / General 2 / September 2007Disabling fields with focus
I have a form with several subforms on it. When the main form's record is in a certain state, I disable the various fields on the form and subform. However, since the subforms get focus as well as the main form, when I go to disable them I get an error saying you can't disable the field with focus. I tried creating a hidden field, but for some reason I couldn't SetFocus to it. Is there a "best practice" solution to this? Maury Don't you have a button on your form? That's where I put the focus in a situation like this. If you do want to use a hidden control place it under the button or just place it in the form and set the properties to the color of the form. hth  SignatureMaurice Ausum > I have a form with several subforms on it.

Actually, no, the subforms are display only. But I'll add a hidden button instead, that seems easy enough!
