Perhaps manually changing the zorder property will help. I dont know why the pageframe.page1.activeate event if firing...but my guess is that when you hit the tab button, something is wrong with the sequence of the textboxes, and the focus ends up on the pageframe instead of the next textbox...that would cause the activate() to fire. Are the zorder properties for the textboxes numbered 1 though 4 like the way you want?

>Nothing changes ZOrder in the code. Do I have to change it myself? The mysterious question is: why pageframe.page1.activate fires then the control looses focus?
