Hi Rixon ----
The TabIndex property is the element number in the Controls collection, so in essence, by scanning through the Controls collection you are going in TabIndex order and setting focus to the first control, in TabIndex order, that can receive it.
>Ok, that takes care of the problem with the shape erroring out. However, I still want the focus to go to the object on the active page whose tabindex=1.
