Yeah, you're right. I meant the Activate() event.

I was looking at a non-paged form and saw the GotFocus() - Du-UH! :-)

When you say "for whatever reason...." I assume you mean "I can't understand why - as it would be a good idea"
Trouble with using the Acivate() is that it tends to fire a lot when other objects on the page get focus, etc. (at leats that's what happens, VERY annoyingly, in debug, when you're trying to step through proceedings.
