Hi, Barbara!

Thanks for replying. I forgot to mention that I already added a REFRESH as you mentioned, both before and after setting focus, with similar results. Perhaps I should stick with what works. I don't mind using band-aid approaches, but I want to avoid a poor structure.

>>I have a combo box on a pageframe's page that is meant to cause an edit box on another page to get focus, depending on which selection is chosen. (The edit box is used to provide comments about the selection.) In the valid event, I have code such as this:
>>
>>

>>IF lcValue $ 'PC,NC'
>>  THIS.PARENT.ACTIVEPAGE = 6
>>  THIS.PARENT.PAGE6.edtComments.SETFOCUS()
>>ENDIF

>>However, when page 6 is made active, the combo box on the previous page is still visible, and is superimposed on the edit box. If I manually click on the page's tab, the combo box disappears.
>>
>>I got around this by adding THIS.VISIBLE=.F. to the above code, before setting the ACTIVEPAGE property. This works, except, of course, I needed to add THIS.cmbStatus.VISIBLE=.T. to the ACTIVATE event for the page containing the combo box.

>>My question is, what am I missing? Why is the combo box remaining visible when I programmatically switch pages?
