ok, i have a fairly complicated form that goes three forms deep. i've been avoiding this particular dliemma for a while hoping the answer would come to me in a dream or something but i think it's finally time to pose the question. anyone know how to do this? i can set focus to a subform control by using this: - Me.subform1.Form.txt1.SetFocus
but how do i add another subform (or two) to that code? vba doesn't excactly autofill it in so i'm lost.

I created a form (frmSubform2) with a text box (Text0) on it
I then created another form (frmSubform1) with a subform (frmSubform2) on it.
I then created a form with a subform (frmSubform1) on it.
In the on load event for the final form I put the following code -
Me!frmSubform1.Form!frmSubform2.Form!Text0 = "Hello"
-
and it worked.

Just as some useless information from ADezii, if you have a Text Box on a Main Form named txtTest, and you wish to set Focus to it from a 3rd Level Sub-Form, namely: Sub-Form1 ==> Sub-Form2 ==> Sub-Form3, you can use the following syntax: - Me.Parent.Parent.Parent![txtTest].SetFocus
NOTE: The Parent Property can be a handy little item to be aware of.
ok, guys thanks for your help. unfortunately, i still cannot get it to work. however, after working on it today i realized i had forgotten there is a tab control thrown into the mix so this might be throwing a wrench in things a bit. i've tried for an hour to use variations of the methods you provided but have had no luck. i'll just post my form hierarchy here b/c it seems like the easiest way to explain the situation
frmDRinput > DailyTotals (tab control) > frmReconciling > frmList > txtProductPurch ased (text control)
i looked at that table that puppydogg posted and while that has a lot of information, it doesn't say anything about a tab control so i'm still lost here lol. thanks again for your help thus far, guys.

Tab control has no impact. See this link: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0025.htm

gosh, i don't know what i'm doing wrong then. i might have to post a copy of my project b/c i can't figure out what is going on...
one interesting thing to note is that at one point i had the form 'frmDRInput' name 'DailyReconcili ngInputDS'... and when i use the builder tool it always refers to it correctly in the treeview but when i paste the code it uses the old name. not sure if that is relevent or not. i doubt that means it is corrupted... right? anyways, i will look into this situation further and if i can't figure it out i'll just post a copy of my database to see if there is something that i'm not doing right

Sounds like you have the symptoms of the name autocorrect bug. See this link for details on what it is and how to fix. http://www.allenbrowne.com/bug-03.html

hmmm it didn't exactly say how to fix it other than turning AutoCorrect off... i actually like it so i don't see this one little bump in the road to be worth turning it off. anyways, i spent some more time at it and still have not been able to solve my problem. here's a sample of my database (i programmed it in access 2007 but i converted it to 2003 so everyone can see it). please disregard the bad naming conventions... this was my first project i ever did in access and now is a small part of a much bigger project
