Determine currently selected control

[Gaetan]

Hi,

Is there a way to determine the name of the currently selected control?

Thanks!

Gaetan,
Check out ActiveControl Property in Help.
The name of the current control that has the focus would be...
= Screen.ActiveControl.Name

Yes, it is. It doesn't show on the intellisense dropdown list, but it
exists and it works.

My mistake... The property is good and it's exactly what I needed.

Thanks to you and Dirk!
