Why doesn't this work?
Private Sub Form_Load()
Form1.Setfocus
End Sub
Everytime the form loads, it tells me, "Invalid Procedure" and highlights "Form1.Setfocus"
This works when I put it in any other command, like Command1_Click()
Help?

Cannot set the focus to the form until it is visible. Try this.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Show
Me.Setfocus
End Sub
Why wouldn't the form have focus when it loads anyway?

Because it has no window to receive the focus.
This is what I was trying to make.
I got 2 forms. On the first form, I got a button. when i press the button, form2 shows. When form2 shows, it will have focus. I needed a code where, form2 loads and the focus would be set on form1 after form2 has loaded.
Thx a lot, I'm in skool right now so I can't test out the code right now.

If you want Form2 to load, but form1 get the focus, do this:
Private Sub Button1_Click()
Form2.Show
Button1.SetFocus
End Sub
Tested and works.
Yes! thx a lot. Works just fine ^^
