Any idea why code would work as intended when setting a breakpoint and stepping through it line by line, but won't work correctly at run-time?
The code is too much to post, so I hope this summary of the setup will suffice:
There are 3 forms: - MainForm
- recordForm (subform on MainForm)
- dlgForm (pop-up form)
A button on MainForm opens dlgForm. ( dlgForm is declared as an object variable.)
If "OK" is clicked on dlgForm, a custom event is triggered in that form's Close event which switches the recordForm's recordsource to the table. The focus is (supposed to be) shifted to a control in recordForm and the following line is called to create a new record in the table: - DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
Everything hinges on the focus being shifted to the subform.
When the code runs, the dlgForm retains the focus despite the "setfocus" commands in the event code and the "new record" command throws an error that the command is not available.
If I set a breakpoint in the dlgForm's Close event and step through the code line by line, the focus shifts as it should and all works well.
Sorry for the long post. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Ok.
Seems it is a synchronization issue.
I suggest you to run form timer and do all the job in Form_Timer handler. -
Private Sub newDlg_CreateNewItem(itmType As String, newItm As Integer, itmID As Long)
-
Me.TimerInterval = 1
-
End sub
-
-
Private Sub Form_Timer()
-
Me.TimerInterval = 0
-
Me.[recordForm_SubformControl].SetFocus
-
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
-
End Sub
-
@FishVal SUCCESS! THANK YOU!
So, it needed a millisecond to complete the closing of the dlgForm before proceding through the next set of procedures?

You are welcome.

I don't think so.
Access rarely do things asynchronously, so 1ms form timer means ring after 1ms and after all operations (e.g. in your case any code after RaiseEvent and, maybe, destroying form object) needed to be done have been completed.

Thanks guys.
I really appreciate you giving me credit ...
... however, wage doubling is too much of a good for me.
Simply bring me All Treasures of the World.

Hi,
I have been using VC++6 for while and moved to .NET 2002 a short while ago,
but i have 2 major problems.
First, edit and continue almost never works, (the compiler tells me to look
at the output but there is nothing there), but sometimes it works, in the
same function at the same line.
And secondly, every time i try to step into a function, (F11), i go into
disassembly, not the actual code making F11 totally useless.

there must be a way to make this work inside a windows app
as it run great as a command line app.

Thanks to the help of many on this list, I've been able to take code

In my website projects I can set a breakpoint, run the app, the

what not, and if I hit stop it appears that the rest of the method (and
any calling method) continues to execute. I know this because...

Hi, I made an access application. And in some cases, it gives me error.
And when I tried step by step execution, it worked fine. And every time
afterwards. But it gave me the wrong answer before I do the debug. Is
it possible that some code gets skipped?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
