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.

Slightly different way of doing it would be to save thisform.ActiveControl in commandbutton when event, e.g. thisform.LastActive=thisform.ActiveControl
In the click of command button you can restore focus. But you should check, if thisform.LastActive is an object first.
