[AccessD] Lose Focus

John,

Is this a custom shortcut menu or the built in context menu for the
form/subform?  I assumed you were using a custom shortcut menu.

I've been reading up on this and ADH recommends not using ActiveForm.

Maybe I'm overthinking this and missing something obvious but I'm
definitely missing something :o)

Can someone tell me how to save the record of the calling form when I
can't pass the Me object to the function because it's being called from
a shortcut menu?
