Kevin,

Ok, I actually tried it. The problem is the invisible button is getting focus. You need code in the GotFocus of the button that sets focus to another object:

PROCEDURE GOTFOCUS
   THIS.PARENT.oCmd2.SetFocus()
ENDPROC

Also set the invisible button's TabStop property to FALSE so it doesn't get focus as the user tabs through the controls on the form.
