I'd like to have a command button (cbHide) that hides the command button
itself (and some textboxes) , I tried the line

Private Sub cbHide_Click()
cbHide.Visible = False
End Sub

but it doesn't work because Access can't hide a control that has the focus.
So what would the correct way of doing this? Thanks
 
Give focus to a control you are not hiding?

Thanks Fred and GasMan.
Setting focus to a control I'm not hiding works.
