Focus

Before you execute the code that generates the error you have
to set the focus on the control involved.

Me.yourcontrol.SetFocus

(replace 'yourcontrol' with the actual control

As trucktime says, ensure the control has the focus.

You are probably referring to a control's .Text property. You could probably drop the .Text and then won't have to set the focus to the control.

Also, you might have to ensure the control is enabled.

That done it, i set focus on the text box and its all working nicely
