Controlling the Focus

[J Fowler]

How can one manually point the focus to a specific object without using sendkeys tab. I want to be able to return to a specific field no matter what method a user chooses to reset the form.

You can use the SetFocus method of a control to give that control the focus

SomeControl.SetFocus

You can use SendMessage API.

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long

Private Const WM_SETFOCUS = &H7


Call SendMessage(HandleOfYourObject, WM_SETFOCUS, 0, 0)
