Checking if focus is in the parent or child form.

[tdmailbox]

Is there a vb command that can tell me if I have focus in the child or
parent form?

Basicly I have a search macro that needs me to have focus to any field
in the parent form. If my focus is set on any field in the parent form
it will search that field. However if I have focus set to a field in
the child form it fails. What I want to do is set focus to field1 of
the parent table but ONLY if focus is on a field in the child form. Is
there any way for me to tell where the foucs is?

If there is only two forms - a parent-child relationship - then you can
check the Me.Parent.Name and see if you get a valid value.

You only would from within code in the child form.

It gets more complicated if you have a tertiary type form (grandparent -
parent - child).
