Confused about error

[Gimpster]

Can anyone give me some clue as to why I'm getting this error:

Run-time error '5'
Invalid procedure call or argument

It happens with this code:

txtcheck_amount.Enabled = True
txtcheck_amount.SetFocus

Only it runs through the first line just fine. It's only when it gets to the txtcheck_amount.SetFocus line that it gives me this error. Any ideas why? I'm open to anything.

You are probably getting that error because your textbox isn't visible, so it can't receive the focus.

Well, I just tried making it visible right before that line to make sure, but it didn't help. Any other ideas?

I would believe you are doing this in your form load event..if I am right and it's in your form load event the reason is the texbox isn't there yet...put it in the form activate event.
