enable/focus in form_load

VB Code:

Combo0.Enabled = True
    Combo13.Enabled = True
    Combo0.RowSource = "01;02;03;04;05;06;07;08;09;10;11;12;"
    Combo0.SetFocus
    Combo0.Text = Format(Now, "mm")
    Combo13.RowSource = Year(Now) - 1 & ";" & Year(Now) & ";" & Year(Now) + 1 & ";"
    Combo13.SetFocus
    Combo13.Text = Year(Now)
    Display_Report.SetFocus
    Combo0.Enabled = False
    Combo13.Enabled = False

There has to be a better way to do this. I want the form to start up with values in the combo boxes but I don't want them to be enables unless the user clicks a different option button.

I had to do the setfocus enable/disable routine just to get it to work... unless there is a better way?!

dont use the .Text property of a combo box.

Code:

---

Combo0.Text = Format(Now, "mm")

---

becomes

Code:

---

Combo0 = Format(Now, "mm")

---

Sweet... next question... I have 3 options in an option frame, but when I open the form and click on another option, it won't go to it. It will execute the code, but the option will not be selected.

??

get rid of the setfocus statements

I did that. I had to do it that way to get it to work the first time.

each option button should have its own value which is reflected in the Frame's value property

the wizard helps a lot when setting up options groups

Omitting the default property (i.e. text) of a control when you reference it is also a little faster.

OK, well I got the stupid thing figured out. I was setting the focus to the option to get around the problem of the error I posted before. As soon as I took all those out, it worked fine :)
