It still didn't work. I also made the Cancel button the next Active control, but the Validated and Validating events are still firing. Here is the code I put in the Events and actually the Cancel button is the Exit button which only has Me.Close(). Thanks for the help.

    Private Sub txtDate_Validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtDate.Validated
        If Len(Me.txtDate.Text) > 0 Then
            Dispatch.ValidDate(Me.txtDate.Text)
            If piReturnID > 0 Then
                piReturnID = 0
                Me.cmdDefault.Enabled = False
                Me.cboRoute.Enabled = False
                Me.TabControl1.Enabled = False
                Me.cmdExit.Enabled = True
                Return
            End If

            Me.cmdDefault.Enabled = True
            Me.cboRoute.Enabled = True
        Else
            Me.cmdDefault.Enabled = False
            Me.cboRoute.Enabled = False
            Me.TabControl1.Enabled = False
        End If
    End Sub
