>>>Create a property called LastControlToHaveFocus on the form .In the lost focus event of the form save the control # or name to this property. In the gotfocus or activate event read this value and set the focus to that control. The property would be initialized with the control that would have the intial focus when the form was first started.

Without saving the control name from form1 to a public variable, I cannot see how to get VFP to return to the same control. I am wondering if there is a good way to do this, or if I should just return to a particular specified control no matter where the user was when he left form1. I would prefer not to create a public variable.

I have been ramping up on FoxPro for quite a while, and would like to work on it full time, however I have a day job which cuts into my time, and slows down the learning curve. I usually search and read the postings which give a lot of answers.
I added the new property to a form in a formset, and it went onto the formset instead. Also I am getting the error message, "Unknown member Lastcontrol..." The new property shows up and is set to .F., but I must not be setting it up right. I need another pointer if possible.

Thanks
