Vicki, if you do it with the first/last form properties, then you don't need to work with the CONTROLS object. All you need in the textbox class is a call in the lostfocus to check the property:

IF this.name = thisform.lastcontrol 
   this.parent.&thisform.firstcontrol..setfocus()
ENDIF

This is NOT tested code - I've found macros don't usually work with a 'thisform' in them, so you'll have to adjust for that.... But I hope it gets you started.

>Are my textboxes subclassed - you bet. But not all my fields are text boxes tho all are subclassed. My concern was having to put code in every field but I didn't think about setting a "first" and "last" as form properties and noting it that way. It allows me to set it once and change it (if needed) without dealing with each field. Great! Now, if I can figure out how to work with the Controls code, I'll be on my way<g>. Thanks.
