I am afraid I may be referencing the text control improperly in the setfocus command.

the way I am doing it is

thisform.griddetail.header6.text1.setfocus

>>I have a grid on my form with 6 columns of data.
>>
>>in the 6th column is a textbox which I want to make a required entry field if a certain condition is true. i have no problem checking for the condition in the lostfocus method. When i determine that there must be something in the text box I am haveing difficulty in setting the focus back to that specific field.

>>Any ideas?
