? IsControlSelected (Forms!Customers, "CompanyName")
Function IsControlSelected(frm As Form, _
strControlName As String) As Boolean
Dim intI As Integer, ctl As Control
If frm.CurrentView <> 0 Then
' Form is not in Design view.
Exit Function
Else
For intI = 0 To frm.Count - 1
Set ctl = frm(intI)
If ctl.InSelection = True Then
' Is desired control selected?
If UCase(ctl.Name) = UCase(strControlName) Then
IsControlSelected = True
Exit Function
End If
Else
IsControlSelected = False
End If
Next intI
End If
End Function
