Hi,
On the form's AfterUpdate event (Form_AfterUpdate) I want to determine what
field on the form my cursor is on.
If the cursor is on Field1 I want to do something, if it is on Field2 I want
to do something else.
Using VBA how do I make this distinction?
Use the ActiveControl property. This from Help:
You can use the ActiveControl property together with the Screen object
to identify or refer to the control that has the focus.
Setting
This property setting contains a reference to the Control object that
has the focus at run time.
This property is available by using a macro or Visual Basic and is
read-only in all views.
Remarks
You can use the ActiveControl property to refer to the control that has
the focus at run time together with one of its properties or methods.
The following example assigns the name of the control with the focus to
the strControlName variable:
Dim ctlCurrentControl As Control
Dim strControlName As String
Set ctlCurrentControl = Screen.ActiveControl
strControlName = ctlCurrentControl.Name
