    Resolved [Resolved] You cant reference a control or method unless the control has focus.

    Is there any way to get around this in MS Access 2002?

    In most cases I am selecting a textbox, and I dont want the focus changing constantly while the user runs the program..

    Nope, not unless, depending on what your doing, you use the recordset that the form is bound to and do the work behind the scenes.

    Why cant you manipulate the record that the user is on and refresh the form, maybe?
