I have a function in Module1 that tests Combo1 (style 0) input in Form1. The Module1 function is called from within form1. If an error is found, the function uses MsgBox to display a message. At the same time, I would like to highlight the Combo1 box entry that had the error. I tried using Form1.Combo1.SetFocus, but nothing happens. So what is the right way to do this from within the function?

Having your module code tied so tightly to your form somewhat negates the advantages of having a module. Instead of explicitly calling form1.control I would pass the control as an argument to the function.

That aside though, you probably want to set the selected property of the combo box.

Another problem is that if you have a MsgBox visible, that has the focus by default (it's modal after all) so you may not see any changes on form1.
