>I have a lookup that returns .t. or .f. is a customer is found. If my code is in the valid method I get the "invalid input" message which I don't want. I have put the code in the lostfocus method to avoid this, but I cannot setfocus to the textbox if my lookup returns .f.. Any ideas ???? In FPW 2.6 I would put my lookup code in the valid and return .t. regardless of the outcome and use _CUROBJ = OBJUNUM() and then SHOW GET ENABLE and everything worked just fine. I looked at SBT Accounting Software code and they have an elaborate way of calling the gotfocus method from the lostfocus method and a hundred other functions to do this, but I don't think I have to spend a day writing functions to simply reset focus to the current object. Isn't there a simple way to do this ??????

Use SET NOTIFY OFF to suppress unwanted 'valid' messages. Use NODEFAULT if you want to apply SetFocus() in Lostfocus event.
