Cetin,

Actually, it seems that there is a focus box in the grid cell AND on the command button below it. The ActiveControl is the grid. Below is why I asked the question in the first place.

Three pages on pageframe where:

Page2: contains Grid and Button1
Page3: contains Button2

This is the behavior as it relates to my question:

1. Click on Page2 tab and Page2 becomes active; focus is on Grid
2. Click on Button1 and Page3 becomes active; focus is on Page3
3. Click on Button2 and Page2 becomes active; focus is on Grid
4. Click on Page1 tab and Page2 remains active; focus is on both Grid and Button1
5. Click on Page1 tab again and Page1 becomes active; focus goes to Page1

Only number 4 above is not behaving as I expect it. It takes two clicks on the Page1 tab to actually get Page1 to activate. I simplified this and I know it's difficult at best to follow this type of stuff when you don't have the code, but do you have any ideas? Thanks!
