This problem sometimes comes when trying to SetFocus to an object which is either invisible or on some other page. The later one is out of the question for your query. I would suggest trying..

ON KEY LABEL f12 WAIT WIND IIF(TYPE('_screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl') == 'O', _screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.Name, 'No control') NOWAIT

Run the form and hit F12, this would give you an idea where you are. There has to be something between Refresh() and SetFocus()

Good Luck
