>Yes and no, the control did have focus initially, but the only way to open the calender was the F4 key. And when the calender closed, it lost focus again. I know this is bad form, but I put a wait window in the got focus method and it came up-even though it looked like I didn't have focus. Can you explain that one?

I just tried it and didn't have any problems. Do you have code executing under the Activate on the page or something? Are you unable to click on it to get the calendar to appear? What version of Fox are you using?
