Len, I'm confused myself now !!!
I'll recap on what I am tring to do.

Ideally, In the When Code have the following two separate scenarios:

1)Return .F. and jump out of that control to the next control in the Tab Order

2)MyParticularObj.SetFocus
Returm .f.
Which I would like to Jump out of the control and set focus on MyParticularObj

Now:
I can do 1) no problem

On option 2), I cannot use the when because it does not allow SetFocus so I have to move the code into the GotFocus event.

I now end up with some code in GotFocus and Some code in When.

If I move all the code to the GotFocus event, in my testing scenario 1) (..with a NODEFAULT) returns control to the First object, not the Next object


What I am really wondering is there a way to accomodate what I want to do, (for both 1) and 2) in either the When or Gotfocus event. I want to centralize the code in one place ?

Regards,

Gerard

>Hence my comment about missing something & I guess I am. Your first line says you have to use GotFocus if you want a SetFocus, your last lines asks how to do it without use of SetFocus. My suggestion was to use the When event & return .F., which will automatically send you to the next control in the tab order (Cetin confirms this in his reply to me).
