Compile Error - fieldname.setfocus

[FatMan]

Hi all:
I am tyring to compile a dataase I created and have tested. It seems to
work exactly like I would like it to, yet when I go to compile it I get the
following error message....."Method or data member not found.". When I click
OK it takes me to a line of code that is simply "fieldname.setfocus". I
don't understand why it would work when I test/use the form and the auto
syntax checker finds no problem with it.....why would there be a problem when
I compile the code?

Can someone help me here please?

Thanks.

Well, a field doesn't have a SetFocus method. A form control does. Is
"fieldname" the name of a control on the form?

Also, although in theory it shouldn't make any difference, I have
occasionally encountered strange behaviour when I omitted the keyword "Me"
from code like this, e.g. strange things would happen when I wrote
"ControlName.SetFocus" that stopped happening when I changed it to
"Me!ControlName.Setfocus".

If this is a copy-and-paste of the actual code, then you appear to have
misspelled a field name - "GrowerFristName" instead of "GrowerFirstName".
But perhaps that was just a typo in the newsgroup post? If so, try using !
instead of ., e.g. Me!GrowerLastName & " " & Me!GrowerFirstName.
