>I have a very complexe program with multiple forms and formsets. I also have a very complex keyboard routing routine embeded into alot of my textboxes. Every once in a while a customer calls and complains that a screen POPS up ( by clicking on that button) and then goes away. At this point, all hell breaks loose. The main forms object name is trashed and the program freaks. I have traced a number of these to the lost focus event being fired from a text box after another screen has been called. Some I can not find.

Unfortunately, LostFocus will fire any time you move the focus out. You can either use some property/flag (or NODEFAULT/DODEFAULT construction) to prevent firing of all event code, or better move LostFocus routine into some other event (usually InteractiveChange). Sometimes the solution is to reset the flag in InteractiveChange and use it (if changed) in LostFocus.
