Invalid procedure call or argument.

[Asgorath]

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

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

[Asgorath]

Yes the form is visible

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

[Asgorath]

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?

[Shuja Ali]

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

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.

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?

[Asgorath]

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...

[Asgorath]

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

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

Not according to the posted code.
