Screen.ActiveControl

[mscertified]

Can someone explain when Screen.ActiveControl can be used?
Yes, I already looked in Help.

I have an open form and a control has the focus - referencing
Screen.ActiveControl gives me error 2474 (expression entered requires control
to be in the acvive window). The statement has worked for at least 6 months
until yesterday.

I'm trying to debug an error. Have spent over 8 hours on this so far...
Any help appreciated.

Is this only happening when you use a breakpoint? Cancel all breakpoints,
and stick a debug.print after you assign a variable and check it after the
form is closed.
