When the program starts it runs until it gets to SetFocus and then gives me a Run time error '5' an invalid procedure call or argument. Private Sub Form_Load()
optBackColour1.Value = True
optTextColour1.Value = True
optFont1.Value = True
optPointSize1.Value = True
txtStyles.SetFocus
End Sub
Private Sub optBackColour1_Click()
txtStyles.BackColor = &HFFFFFF
txtStyles.SetFocus
End Sub when it starts it reads the Form_Load code and skips to the optBackColour1_Click sub be qives me the error when it gets to txtStyles.SetFocus any help will be appreciated.....

There's only one error I've ever gotten with SetFocus and that is when you're trying to give a control Focus when it isn't visible. The Form_Load event fires before the Form_Activate event and therefor is not visible at the time. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 599 UGN's Resident Homo | | UGN's Resident Homo Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 599 | you can put in form1.show before the setfocus, that should fix it
