I am using access 2002 to make a database for a friend, and ran into a functional problem.
I have radio buttons that switch that switch the subform, and make a search textbox invisible. Works fine, but when I hit the radio button to reactivate it, I found a problem. The subform changes, the search box comes back, but the radio button I selected still has focus. You have to click or tab back to txtSearch to begin a new search. Although a click or tab isn't much, it doesn't seem like a good way to leave it. I tried txtSearch. SetFocus, but it says it cannot set focus to a textbox. Is there a way around this?

Have you tried setting the setfocus() for the radio button through javascript? OR try giving the tabindex property of the text box.

You have to use setfocus() property of Textbox. You can find this property from the property window of textbox.

I wanted this too. I found a reference here.
hxxp: www. access-programmers. co. uk/forums/showthread. php?t=151884
Thread: "move cursor to end of text in textbox after setfocus "
There is no stock function, but it can be added very easily. The "Standard Module" they speak of in the topic is the VB code of the Form. Specifically in the (General) area.
Any of your forms will now be-able to access this function. I just tried it and it worked.
Cheers.

For this you have to set setfocus() property of Textbox in the property window of textbox as setfocus().

You don't need to set the focus to get the values.
All you need is to reference your control WITHOUT the .Text part. The default of a control is .Value which can be accessed by using
