In Access, is there a command to go to a control in design view from a command button?

sorry, but none. You can put the form in design view from a command button click with

docmd.openform me.name, acdesign

What are you trying to do?

OK, we got that much.  What do you want to do at that point?  Why do you have to put focus on the control?  Once the form is open in design view, you should be able to reference any control directly.   Keep in mind that Access is a Rapid Application Development tool intended for use in creating data-centric applications.  It isn't a graphic design tool so there is a limit to what you can actually do programmatically in design view.

Are you making a tool for yourself because this is not something you would ever do in an application you built for others to use.

my post at #a42041204  already answered your question.

Thanks, ...it took me a while to get the syntax just right.

Just note the cautions we all mentioned...

Cap, ...Yeah, ...
For some reason, years ago, I remember a question on this, ...I think Scott posted the syntax...
;-)
I was not even certain the syntax still worked...
