Hi Ric,

You need two dots. The first one denotes the end of the macro substitution.

IF !EMPTY(THISFORM.cDefault)
  lcDefault = THISFORM.cDefault
  &lcDefault..SetFocus()
ENDIF

>TIA to you all because this is a no brainer (I left mine at home today).... in certain situations I pass a default control name to a form property.... I want the form to select that control id as the next to get focus - overriding the tab order.... could some please tell me why this isn't working??
