Invalid procedure call or argument.

Hi, why does the .SetFocus method raise the following error :
Invalid procedure call or argument.

VB Code:

Private Sub Timer3_Timer()
Me.text4.Enabled = True
Me.text4.SetFocus
Me.Timer3.Enabled = False
End Sub

Is the form that this code is in visible? If it isn't then that is what is causing the error

Yes the form is visible

And is the Text4 textbox on any Frame or Picture box which itself is disabled?

Yes its on a enabled and visible frame.

I just tried your code and it works fine for me. What line is highlighted when the error occurs?

Can you try this code and let us know what it does?

VB Code:

Private Sub Timer3_Timer()
    Me.text4.Enabled = True
    If Not Me.text4.Container.Enabled Then
        Debug.Print "SetFocus Cannot be used"
    Else
        Me.text4.SetFocus
    End If
    Me.Timer3.Enabled = False
End Sub

I just disabled the frame, ran the code, and got the Invalid procedure error.

Somewhere along the line, your frame is being disabled.

Hi, i've modified to code to this and i still the invalid error.

VB Code:

Private Sub Timer3_Timer()
Me.Visible = True
Me.text4.Visible = True
Me.text4.Enabled = True
Me.Frame1.Enabled = True
Me.Frame1.Visible = True
MsgBox Me.text4.Container.Name 
If Me.text4.Container.Enabled Then
    MsgBox "enabled"
Else
MsgBox "disabled"
End If
Me.text4.SetFocus
Me.Timer3.Enabled = False
End Sub

What is the Timer Interval? When is this code executing? At Form Load?

I erased the frame and moved the textboxes to the form and i still get the warning that the container is disabled.

The timer is fired only once from another from. Interval 1.

Seems like the Form is not enabled then...

But i've got form.enabled = true just before the setfocus.

zip up your project and attach it here

VB Code:

But i've got form.enabled = true just before the setfocus.

Not according to the posted code.
