Hi Barry,
I don't think it's a bug but a correction to behaviour. FWIW calling another visual object from a valid event is dangerous. Since caller hasn't validated yet it shouldn't lose focus but it does in VFP6 ! Formerly being able to call setfocus from a valid was a corrected bug.
Just moving the code to lostfocus cures it and as far as I remember it was the case with Don's form too.
