Where are you using the SetFocus command?

You may need to look at VBA in your subform.

Raymond I set it in the AfterUpdate of the Subform.

The Code for 'AfterUpdate' will not run until there is a change in the subform.  It sounds like this is not the right place for this code.

You will need to show pictures of your forms and the code.

-Raymond

Raymond is right: AfterUpdate probably isn't the right place for this. That event won't fire just because the form opens or the image/browser loads.

The Edge Browser Control may be grabbing focus after Access has already set focus where you wanted it. Try using the main form's Timer event to set the focus back after a short delay.

In the main form's Load or Current event:

Code

Me.TimerInterval = 500
Copy

Then in the main form's Timer event:

Code

Private Sub Form_Timer()

    Me.TimerInterval = 0
    Me!YourMainFormControlName.SetFocus

End Sub
Copy

Replace 'YourMainFormControlName' with the actual control you want focus to start on. The idea is: let the browser finish loading and stealing focus, then Access says, "Nope, my chair," and takes it back.

See: Load Faster. Same trick.

Thank you for the information. However, I am still experiencing the same issue. I played around with the timer interval amount (as you can see) and it still insists on dropping down to the first field of the subform. While I was experimenting I did notice, at one point, it would pause on the BarcodeID field briefly, but then the picture would load and the focus would drop to the address field in the subform. Could it be pausing the browser load?

As Richard says, the Edge Browser control is taking focus when it finishes loading regardless of your tab order. This is a known issue that's been reported on multiple sites.

If the solution Richard suggested doesn't work, other options include:

1) Set TabStop to "No" for the sub form - although this doesn't guarantee anything, it is the least impact on your form

2) Have the web browser control set to no target by default then AFTER the BarcodeID field has focus, use code to set the Navigate property of the browser control in the sub form.

3) In the subform, in the BROWSERCONTROL_DocumentComplete(URL As Variant) event, set the focus to the previous control:

On Error Resume Next
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
On Error Goto 0

This method may work sporadically since the browser loads asynchronously. You could combine it with a timer event like Richard suggested but in the subform so that it has an xxxx millisecond delay then goes to previous control.

Also, the error handling just prevents errors if no other control had focus previously. You could explicitly set focus to the parent form as well, I just used previous control just in case you are working in the sub form.

Just a thought: Do you need to use the browser control to display your images?
