Can you post your code? The example you give is a little unclear. <br />
<br />
When you say you &quot;type the word value&quot; in particular, not sure what you mean.
</div>


<div>
I am also a bit confused.<br />
I guess that you want to make some concatenation<br />
If this is the case then<br />
Some variable = &quot;VALUE : &quot;&nbsp;&amp; Me.txtUserName
</div>


<div>
I had a feeling it would difficult to put this in words.<br />

I found out that txtUSERName.SetFocus is not an option?

Folks,<br />
Basically, what I trying to do is when a form loads, set the focus of a text control box. Forget everything I have sent to you, please.

<div>
I forgot to mention. The form is a POPUP style if that makes any difference?

I'm inclined to agree with you. I've done many times before but never experienced this problem. Thank for the sample and appreciate you hanging in there with me.<br />

Folks,<br />

VBA provides a list of commands available for different objects and then the supporting properties for that command. For example, if I have this code:<br />
TempID=Me.txtUserName and I am looking for the VALUE following the name here's what I get: TempID+Me.txtUserName. and VALUE does not show up. <br />
However, if I type the word VALUE no problem. I don't understand what's going on.

PROBLEM with ACCESS 2016 and properties missing

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
