That's it! In the toolbutton I set focus to another field on the form and the revert worked fine! A thousand thanks!
When I tried to set focus to the active form active control the focus just stayed with the active control, so I created another control on the form (aptly named ducttape), transferred focus to it, ran the app object revert routine, then went back to the formerly active control. It worked like a charm. You have saved many hairs on my head! There's probably a better way to do this, but at least now I know what the problem was!
