>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.

Hi Jim,

I don't understand why the valid is firing twice. It should only fire once. Anyway, you can put you code in the lostfocus event. To set focus back to the control use setfocus.
