Hi,
I am trying to solve the following problem:
Object is a form/subform one. The header of the form has command button. If the focus is on the subform for entering data and i want to click the command button in the parent form, i need to click twice. I suppose once to move the focus from subform to form's header, then again to run the code behind the button. Is there a way to achive this by clicking only once?
thanks

it does not, two click is necessary to run btn_click event. It should open a form.

Try the following in the AfterUpdate Event of a Control on your Subform:-

Me.[MainFormName].SetFocus ‘Sets focus to the Form
Me.[MainForm].Form!NameOfButton.SetFocus

Then click the Button
