>Because in the process of setting focus where you said to, VFP fires the current textbox's LostFocus and the default VFP behavior in LostFocus is to put focus in the next control according to the key used to leave this control (the default when no key was used is to put focus in the Next control in the tabe order. You need to do your setfocus ion the textbox's LostFocus and also issue a NODEFAULT.
ok, thanks.
