>With all due respect, that is not what I advocated: I advised to write a method in the base form that computed the difference between the current tabindex and the tabindex target object and return that from the valid method. _That_ works, and you only have to worry about 1 method, the valid method, like in the good old fpd times.

Yes, indeed. Nodefault just keeps focus, but if you add This.Setfocus, you will fire the Gotfocus, so you can choose either way, depending upon needs...there really isn't a lot of use for Valid any longer...
