button control: visible and jumpt too

[BadScript]

I have a button and I have an invisible field. When I press the button I would like the button to make a combo visible and jump to that same combo

On the click event I tried:

cbo_method2.Visible = True
DoCmd.GoToControl "cbo_method2"

But since the combo is not visible when the button is pressed cbo_method2 is still invisible and not recognized. Is there a way to solve this without making cbo_method2 visible in the oncurrent event?

[COLOR="Red"][B]Me.[/B][/COLOR]cbo_method2.Visible = True
    DoCmd.GoToControl "cbo_method2"

Do you have the Me. identifier included? That would be a reason it is not visible. You can also do it this way...

[COLOR="Red"][B]Me.[/B][/COLOR]cbo_method2.Visible = True
Me.cbo_method2.SetFocus

Also, a control cannot receive the focus unless it is visible.

Me.cbo_method2.Visible = True
Me.cbo_method2.SetFocus

Many thanks, that was what I was looking for

How do I make this part of a case?
I tried searching the forum on cases but it's hard to find something usefull.. I could really use a small explenation..
I'm trying to achieve something like this:

Case 1
Me.cbo_method3.Visible = True
Me.cbo_method3.SetFocus
Case 2
cbo_pg2 = Null
cbo_un2.Visible = False
