I don't know of a way to programmatically select a different control while editing. One thing that would be possible would be to traverse recursively all the controls on the form, looking for the ones with the same name as the currently selected one, then have some sort of selection mechanism (I'd probably just call my alert() with each one's full name on each of the commandbuttons), and then - well, can't select it, but can paint it yellow, or do something else to make it stand out. See my recurse class.
