"Run-time error '2185'.
I am getting this error:
Microsoft Access:
Run Time Error '2185'

"you can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control
has the focus."

My code is below:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Left(Label_TAG.Text, 4) "ADA-" Then
Label_TAG.Text = "ADA-" & Label_TAG.Text
End If
End Sub

Sounds like you might be trying to access an object before the form has initialized/loaded. have you looked in MSDN for the error?

You must delete the ".text"-property. Access only wants to use properties, if it has the focus. You could also give it the focus.

Good luck!!
