>Is there something to tell me what object currently has the focus? We are currently setting a flag with gotfocus and lostfocus but it seems to be that there must be something in VFP itself to tell me.
CHEAP TRICK 33
public ThisControlHasFocus

in the controls Gotfocus:
ThisControlHasFocus=this.name

in the control's Lostfocus:
ThisControlHasFocus=[None]

Of course, if your triggering off another control with this method and the trigger has this implemented, then ThisControlHasFocus will be the trigger!

Like ed says, and it took me a few hours to learn, the concern is where the user is, so ..

Use control validations (valid,lostfocus,interactivechange) to assure that all the ducks are in a row, then allow with (enable and when) to push the process forward!
