Pete-

I think all you need a NODEFAULT after UpdateTable() to keep the lostFocus from executing.

>Hello gang,
>I have a simple form, with a command button and a text box, what I am trying to do is:, scan a value into the text box via a barcode reader, execute a routine ( at present from the LostFocus event of the text box ), which updates a table, clears the text box and sets the focus back to the text box, the problem I am having is setting the focus back to the text box, I've experimented with the placement of the code all to no avail, what I've got so far is this
