I have a login form. If a user enters the correct username and password I want to open certain forms and close the login form (among other things) when the Sign In button is clicked. I have this code in the cmdSignIn_Click () event: -
DoCmd.OpenForm "f_Families"
-
DoCmd.OpenForm "f_GiftProcessing"
-
DoCmd.OpenForm "f_Reports"
-
DoCmd.OpenForm "f_SysMaintenance"
-
DoCmd.Close acForm, "f_Login"
-
However, what I want to have happen is after the login form is closed I want to set the focus to the f_Families form, the first form that was opened. Right now, the focus goes to the f_SysMaintenanc e form. I've tried adding a line of code after I close f_Login using all these different variations but none work: -
Forms!f_Families.SetFocus
-
Forms!f_Families.Form.SetFocus
-
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "f_Families"
-
You'd think this would be a simple task but no matter what I try, the focus always goes to the last form opened in my code. How do I do this? Thanks!

Set your focus to a control on the form you want to have the focus. I'm surprised you want so many forms open at once.
Forms!f_Familie s.ControlName.S etFocus

Or... Just open the form you want focus on last.
That doesn't work. The reason I want so many forms open is because I have my forms open as tabbed documents with the documents tab displayed so when the user logs in, he can easily tab between the four main forms now open. I could open my f_Families form last (and I thought of that) but I want the tabs to be in a specific order. Is there another way to get at what I want?

You are saying that the SetFocus code I supplied does *not* work? You used your ControlName, right? Something else is going on. Can you post your db, or at least enough of a sample so that we can test this?
Yes, I used my own control name (e.g. Forms!f_Familie s.cboChurch.Set Focus). I've attached my db. Again, the code is triggered on the OnClick event of the Sign In command button on my f_Login form. To test the code, use these credentials on the login form:
username = michele
password = shelly
She is the only user set up.
Thanks!

Hi.
I am opening a form (frmUserSettings) just before (or so I thought) the
Main Menu form (frmMainMenu) is opening but it's not getting the focus.
It gets "painted" and then the Main Menu gets "painted" right on top of
the frmUserSettings. Since the Main Menu form is smaller (in width and
height) I can click on frmUserSettings and get it to the front (focus).
But is there a way to do this programmatically? Can you help me?

I have a form that has a search button on it. The form has three text boxes,

What is supposed to happen is the search results form opens based on the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
