Re: [MS_AccessPros] SetFocus => Run-time error '438'

 

Steve,

I would add at least one debug.print or msgbox in this code. 

Is VendorID the name of a control that is visible and enabled?

This is the link to explain the arguments: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/access-vba/articles/docmd-findrecord-method-access?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Regards,

Duane

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] SetFocus => Run-time error '438'

 

The user has a Cancel command button which closes frmVendorEdit and then
opens frmVendor (a continuous form). When frmVendor opens, I want it to
find the record based on the VendorID which was provided by
frmVendorEdit's openargs argument when that form closed. VendorID is an
autonumber field in the underlying table.

This snippet of code in the frmVendor Load event fails on
Me!VendorID.SetFocus with this error: Run-time error '438': Object
doesn't support this property or method.

    If Nz(Me.OpenArgs) <> 0 Then
       Dim varOpenArgs As Variant
       varOpenArgs = Me.OpenArgs
       Me!VendorID.SetFocus
       DoCmd.FindRecord varOpenArgs
    End If

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Steve
