And what control receives focus? May be you have some code in When event of a list box that doesn't allow to receive the focus?

>i have to jump from a text box such that the user can automatically scroll through a list box immediately after. so in the lost focus of the text box i give thisform.list1.setfocus, but that does not seem to work.
>how can i make the user scroll thru the list of options , (the user does not like the use of the mouse in such circumstances) using the keyboard.
