Here is a solution, without any error checking that you may need to implement. This method stores an object reference to the textBox in a custom property of the form.

Add a custom property to your form class, call it firstFocus.

Put this code in your textBox class init() method:

* I would add checking here to make sure thisForm.firstFocus property exists
*    this is just a working example
if this.tabindex = 1  
    thisForm.firstFocus = this
endif

Add a custom method to your form class, called setFirstFocus(). Put this code in it:

* you may want to put additional checking to makesure setfocus method exists
if vartype(this.firstFocus) = "O"
    this.firstFocus.setfocus()
endif

Then, whenever you want to set focus to the first textBox (from within a form), simply call thisform.setfirstFocus().

HTH,
