Error number 5

Do anybody knows why this generates a #5 error??
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Text1.SetFocus
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Activate()
Command1(1).SetFocus 'will work
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Command1(1).SetFocus ' will not work
End Sub

I think setfocus is not the stuff of load events. Activate, which fires automatically after the laod event, does like setfocus though.

If you want it in the load event, then you must place a Me.Show before calling Text1.Setfocus.

Thanks a lot. It worked fine.
