>On my Form, I have several txtBox controls that each (on lostfocus), update the RecordSource of a single grid on the form and refresh the grid, as the ordered row order has likely changed with the txtBox change. This works fine. I have now written some code that positions the grid’s ActiveRow appropriately (mainly so the rows above ActiveRow don’t hide above the top visible row with the ActiveRow on the top row). This works fine too.

One approach would be to create a method in the form that contains all the objects in question - textboxes, grid etc. e.g. MyForm.MyCustomMethod()

This method would then be called from each of your Textboxes as required.

One useful trick would be to pass a reference to the calling control to .MyCustomMethod. That way, the method knows where to return focus when it's done i.e.

* MyTextBox.SomeMethod()

=ThisForm.MyCustomMethod( param1, param2, ..., This )

* MyForm.MyCustomMethod

LPARAMETERS ;
  param1 ;
  , param2 ;
  , ... ;
  , loCallingObject

* Do some stuff ...
* Then ...
loCallingObject.SetFocus()
