Jose',
I know I will be riduculed for this by I handled that situation in an old VFP3 Application by
In the Main Startup a I defined a global variable 'gccurrentfocus' that on got focus in each item in all containers was assigned the name of the control...
Sounds sloppy but It was great to know the location (or last location) at an error or during interrogation of a user.

A quicky solution to change of focus would be to trigger a routine in each gotfocus ... I'm sure there is a better way if time permits
