Hi Mark,

you advised tacking on the Nodefault to my keypress event:

Finally got to try it - sorted. No Problem. Except I don't understand how it worked!

Specifically what was 'suppressed' by the 'nodefault' command? Was it the default behaviour of the keypress code or that of the command button? And what default behaviour was causing the loss of focus in the first place?

In any case, thanks for the tip

Harry
