Remove focus from command button

[esskaykay]

Hello,
Is there a way to remove the focus from a command button after the button has been clicked? I have a Form-A with a Button-B that only becomes visible is certain conditions exist. Button-B opens a second Form-B for additional input (Form-A is still open). Once Form-B is closed, I want Button-B on the Form-A to disappear.

I have this working as a “test button” on Form-A where if I click the Test button, it closes Button-B as I want. I tried setting my Test code on the OnLostFocus property of Button-B but it tells me I can’t close a control that has the focus.

TEST CODE:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.RepaintObject
If Me.Grades = -1 Then
If Me.Request_No > 0 Then
Me.txtRequest_No.Visible = True
Me.cmdGrdRequest.Visible = False
Else
Me.txtRequest_No.Visible = False
Me.cmdGrdRequest.Visible = True
End If
Else
If Me.Request_No > 0 Then
Me.txtRequest_No.Visible = True
Me.cmdGrdRequest.Visible = False
Else
Me.txtRequest_No.Visible = False
Me.cmdGrdRequest.Visible = True
End If
Me.cmdGrdRequest.Visible = False
End If


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Try;

Me.ControlName.Setfocus

To set the focus to any other control before you hide the button.

I tried that but I was quite sure where to place the code. I tried it on the OnClick property of my button but that bombed. I believe the problem here is my second form is updating data in my current table. I'm gong to try creating a second query.

I may be back...

Are you getting the error at;

Me.cmdGrdRequest.Visible = False

No I think its coming when I attempt to click on a second control. I now set the code in the forms OnDirty. This way it at least updates correctly once the user selects some other control. For now, this should be fine.

Thanks again,
