>>I'm trying to set the focus to a textbox on my form and have tried using the setfocus method. I'm obviously using it wrong since it's not working. I've looked in help for an example and have come up with nothing. Can someone give me an example on how this works.

And if it doesn't then something else is overwriting it, Mark :-)

Do you get an error message or just another control gets focus? Do you have other code in your Init or Activate methods that call a SetFocus() for another control? Or do you have a control that has been updated with a calculated value as part of the Activate or Refresh methods?

Finally, if you're setting the focus from another control then the LostFocus code of that control may be causing a problem. You should call a NODEFAULT before your Thisform.NewControl.SetFocus() call, so the original control won't follow through to the next tab-stop.
