Why don't you return .f. from the control's When method? It will pass the focus to the next control. VFP doesn't give you an easy way to know the next control programmatically - you'd have to create an array of controls, sorted by tabindex, and then use it to find the next control, but you don't actually need it. Simply not allowing the control to receive focus will pass it to the next one (by tabindex order).
