Error number: 2185, You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.

Private Sub KOSONGKAN_Click()
 
    txtID.Text = ""
    txtKodSekolah.Text = ""
    txtTingkatanTahun.Text = ""
    txtNamaKelas.Text = ""
    txtNamaMurid.Text = ""

The error is very self explanatory (unusual for MS errors :) )

You cannot generally change the "text" property of any control unless you first set the focus to the control.

Think of the text property as a "scratch paper" or marquee for the control and the value property as the actual notebook where things are kept. If bound then a copy of the notebook page is placed on the scratch paper (or in the case of a combobox/Listbox the marquee as sometimes the value is not the same as the displayed text). In anycase, the only time the text property is available is while the control has focus.

(...)
'
txtid.setfocus
txtID.Text = ""
'
txtKodSekolah.setfocus
txtKodSekolah.Text = ""

On the other hand, you can usually set the value property of the control without first setting the focus to the control

Private Sub KOSONGKAN_Click()
   txtID.Value = ""
   txtKodSekolah.Value = ""
   txtTingkatanTahun.Value = ""
   txtNamaKelas.Value = ""
   txtNamaMurid.Value = ""
   txtNoKp.Value = ""
   txtNoSijilLahir.Value = ""
   txtTarikhLahir.Value = ""
End Sub 

any particular reason you were using the text property of the control?

+ Unfortunately, you didn't mention which line of the code is failing...
++ Insert the STOP command as the very first line following your SUB declaration (such as line 2 in your original post) of your code and save.
++ click on your [KOSONGKAN] control.
++ you should enter the debugger at this point with the STOP as the highlighted command
++ [F8] to execute the next line of code. Which one is causing the error.

+ Are these controls bound to a record set?

That is to say, when in design view, with the properties pane open, what is the [control source] for each of the controls?

If any of the controls (such as [txtID] is bound to an autonumber field you will not be able to set that value.
