>>>>I have a Combobox on a toolbar that is used to look up a name and jump to that account. It will refresh the active form based on the account selected. I had code in the Valid of the Combobox which did the refresh, but somewhere down the road I would inevitably encounter a SetFocus and would get the "Can't call SetFocus from a Valid" error. So I moved the code to the LostFocus of the Combobox. Now it seems that if the user drops down and chooses a name from the list, the LostFocus is not fired unless the user presses Enter. I believe that the Valid DID fire when the user made a selection (with a mouse)from the list. So, how can I get the LostFocus to occur when the user chooses something from the dropdown? How can I detect when they choose something from the dropdown? (VFP 6.0 SP3)

Elyse,
>>>Combos are interesting that they're the only control in VFP where "when", "valid" event fires anytime you move between its items (Not just on entry and exit from combo). You may try InterActiveChange.

>>Thanks. I thought about that, but this is a Combobox, not a list, so every time the user types a character the InteractiveChange would fire. I want to go through the LostFocus only when the user finishes typing a name or chooses one from the list.

I'll still run into the SetFocus error that way.
