Hi
This is my first question.
I have a command button (SaveChangesBtn) that I wish to set focus to under certain circumstances. On many occasions the button works fine, but occasionally I get an unspecified run time error.
It is at the following point in the code

POpenIssuesRowID = r.Row - 1
Call GotoRecord(recordfound, POpenIssuesRowID)
SaveChangesBtn.Enabled = True
SaveChangesBtn.SetFocus

I have stepped through on numerous occasions but cannot see why it should set focus sometimes and not others, Any thoughts please
Regards
ernief
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
I use Excel 2007,
there is no control property such as CommandButton1.SetFocus only CommandButton1.TakeFocus*******.
I think SetFocus only available in Visual Basic 6 Command Button.

I am using Excel 2016. I am surprised by your answer. when entering code and using Ctrl+space and start entering the name of the object (CommandButton) "SaveChangesBtn" followed by a full stop "." SetFocus is one of the events in the list. Perhaps this changed from 2007?

Have you tried using SaveChangesBtn.Activate instead of SetFocus ?
