I have been trying to find a way to get the focus off of a control and put it somewhere else. The reason for this is that when a procees is finished the next time I click on another control on the form the last selected control fires off again. My form has several frames that group controls and there seems to be no way to set the focus to some dummy control in another frame without getting an error. Even if you could take the focus away and pass it back to the form would be good. Has anybody found a way to overcome this VBA annoyance. I really would hate to make more dummy controls in each frame just to overcome this. Thanks for any help Dave
