I am trying to open the database using Access 2010 runtime, however the application crashes when I change selected item of a combo box. I receive the following error: "Execution of this application has stopped due to a run-time error. The application can't continue and will be shut down." After researching the problem, a few people mentioned running the compact and repair, and found that fixed their problem, however it made no difference to mine. However, I found most people to come back and say put some error logging in place. So I have done that, and when running on 2010 runtime, a receive a pop up message saying the following: Error number: 2185, You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus. However when running in Access 2007, there is no error and the code works fine. This is the code I have been using: Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() If Not ComboBox1.Text = "" Then ComboBox1.Dropdown End If End Sub My question is, why would this suddenly become an issue running on 2010 runtime, when there is no error in Access 2007? ms-access ms-access-2007 runtime-error ms-access-2010 share|improve this que

Use the .Value Property instead. It doesn't require focus to work. And since it's the Default Property for a textbox/combobox, you don't actually have to include it! txtEmail is the same as txtEmail.Value Linq ;0)> Oct 7 '08 #2 reply P: 77 Sep410 Thank you.It is working now.

It allows me to change the values without causing events to trigger. Sir Devo Nov 12 '09 #5 reply Expert 2.5K+ P: 3,532 missinglinq As I said previously, there is seldom any reason to use the

Basically I am getting the following error :" You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has focus." I have created a simple error 2185 access form in Access with various command buttons. All I am trying to do is when a user wants to add a new record, they click on the add new record button and it clears out all the text boxes on the form and puts the cursor in the first textbox ready for the user to start entering data. I have put the following code behind the add button and I get the 2185 error......obviously I am missing something ....I have done some VB programming before but not in Access, Here's the code: Private Sub cmdNewRecord_Click() mblnAdd = True txtBoxNumber.SetFocus Empty_FormControls End Sub Private Sub Empty_FormControls() ' Clear Form Controls txtBoxNumber.Text = "" txtBoxLocation.Text = "" txtProjectID.Text = "" txtContractID.Text = "" txtFRSAccount.Text = "" txtTitle.Text = "" txtPIlastname.Text = "" txtFirstName.Text = "" txtMiddleInit.Text = "" end sub any advice would be very much appreciated cheers, Patrick Reply With Quote 12-19-06,10:35 #2 Missinglinq View Profile View Forum Posts Moderator Join Date Jun 2005 Location Richmond, Virginia USA Posts 2,763 Provided Answers: 19 You can only use .TEXT if the control has focus. Replace .TEXT with .Value. The .Value property doesn't require the control to have focus. Hope this helps! The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
