In my lostfocus() event I check for a pre-existing user name and a message box prompts the user to select a different name. After the MB code I have tried this.setfocus() and thisform.txtUserName.setfocus(), but neither of these are returning focus to the textbox! What an idiot, eh? (Maybe I should just put the code in the passwords gotfocus() event!)

Jon I think you need to type your code like this. thisform.txtbox1.setfocus=.t. and I think that will take you back to the textbox also if I understand the help file (when I recently had a problem the setfocus command) before the control can recieve the focus it must of course be enabled.

Hope this is right
