hay Michel:
The SetFocus method conflicts with these events, which are testing to see if
the object can get or lose focus.

· You are calling SetFocus from a When event.
Call SetFocus from the GotFocus event instead.
· You are calling SetFocus from a Valid, RangeHigh, or RangeLow event.
Call SetFocus from the LostFocus event instead.
