How do I get the focus back to the field that needs to be entered? That's the problem not the message.

>Hmmm....check your SET NOTIFY setting. If you want a custom message only in Valid, SET NOTIFY OFF (Turns off the invalid input message) and use WAIT WIND or MESSAGEBOX for you message.

>>I am having a problem with the lostfocus and valid events. I have a field that the user needs to enter, i have the logic for this. In my logic i tell the user he must enter the information. The problem is when the logic is in the valid event the same message comes up twice. If I put the code in the lostfocus event the message comes up once, but the focus is not reset to the box that needs the information.
