Thanks for the reply Alex.

Maybe use the description property of the control and walk the list of controls in the form container looking for a match to the broken rule text. If not found setfocus to first field on the form. Perhaps could even use a MsgSvc ckey field as the search parm..

Another thought would be to increase the size of the aBrokenRules array and store a reference to the control in a column of the array. Use it setfocus to the control. However, I think you lose flexibility using this method.

In either event, after the save method returns you need to check the return value for FILE_ERRORHANDLED and take whatever action is needed to set focus.

Anyone reading this have any other thoughts or ideas?
