This is the way I'll have to go. I'll have to create a new property and save the name of the active control into it. I'll probably to that from each control's gotfocus. Then in the gotfocus of the button I'll check if the last control was the textbox. If so, I'll run the button's click. Then set the last control property to the button.

I don't suppose you know a simpler way to handle figuring out where the button click came from? If you do, I'm open to it.

Thanks Doru.

>I had the same problem in VFP9 version 09.00.0000.2412, and was surprized that the messagebox eats the click. To get around it, I do a keyboard '{enter}' in the gotfocus of the button if the button is clicked coming from the text box.

MessageBox("TextBox Valid")

to be

MessageBox("TextBox Valid",0,2000)

But it makes no difference. The button click doesn't fire.
