Actually, I'd save the object to form property, thisform.oLastControl, and then in the lostFocus of every base class you have (you are using base classes, right? *s*) do something like thisform.oLastControl = this. Then in the command button's click, after you do your work you could THISFORM.oLastControl.SetFocus(). This should work fine if you take care of a couple of details.

Set the property thisform.oLastControl to .NULL. in the form destroy.

Make sure you initialize the property when the form initializes in case that's the first thing a user does, or you'll get an error.

Don't ever programmatically call the click() method from a valid().

Other than that, no, there really isn't another way to do it (that I can think of).
