Hi!

return from valid evet the numeric value. It says VFP to go through tab index and set the focuse to the n's field. For example, 'return -1' in valid event will cause focuse to go back as you needed. '-2' - 2 controls back.

>I can set the Tab Index of fields on a form to determine the order of selection but how do I make the selection go back
>to the previous field? Say, Text1, Text2, Text3 then back to Text2. I got an error message when I placed 'Thisform.......setFocus' under Valid
>in Text3. It seems I can put this in the code for a button, but not for a text box.
