>> I'm not sure how you get around this one, I've managed to work around it in other parts of applications, but I would like to find out how a lot of you get at the solution. In the valid event of a text box, I would like to activate a list of correct choices if the user has entered an incorrect name or employee number. I am able to make the list visible, but am not allowed to setfocus to the list. If the list has to be scrolled up or down or simply to choose a correct name from the list I am unable to do that because not allowed to call setfocus from within a valid event. I could default focus to the list and take the name from the list before the user keys any data in, but the users like to use the keyboard in this particular form and having to move the mouse when not necessary wouuld slow them down. So how can you get around the setfocus issue from within a valid event?

Hi Nadya
Are you saying that in the valid event of the textbox, you call a method in the form that launches a new form which contains the listbox? If so, could you call the listbox from the method of the original form?

Just wondering,
