I think you may need to check Me.ActiveControl.Focused too. I confess to
some confusion (10 years worth) regarding these different form/control status
indicators.
Also, If you add controls to a form at runtime rather than in the designer,
then Me.ActiveControl.Name (what the original post asked for) will be
whatever you set it to.

You confuse me, what do you mean with that?

I believe this means that when control is created programmatically Name
could be assigned to arbitrary value.

However, Form.ActiveForm.ActiveControl is bogus. If Form.ActiveForm is
NOHTING, then you have NO way to get the active control on the top most
form. I have seen this issue before... for example if the top most
form as defined by Form.ActiveForm is NOT top of the ZORDER, aka., a
MsgBox or MessageBox is in front of the Form.ActiveForm is wrong AND if
you reference Form.ActiveForm INSIDE a Form at is TOP-MOST, it is OFTEN
set to NOTHING.
Dachshund,
You can be right, the same is when your computer is not running.
However, in my idea was Herfried giving a hint where to look for a solution
for this problem.
Just my thought,
Cor
To consistently get a valid form... I had to use GetActiveWindow() and
find the matching Window HANDLE from GetActiveWIndow() to a Form native
handle. Not pretty but worked for what I needed.
