>Thanks for the tip. The article makes sense and helped me cleanup the code somewhat but I still cannot return focus to the textbox after the forms method runs. I have tried placing thisform.textbox1.setfocus in the form method and this still works when the method is called by the button but not when it is called by the textbox.

btw - I'll be out after today, so have a great holiday!

Add NODEFAULT after call to the method in LostFocus and have happy holiday too.
