>Hi...., I tried to put the setfocus to other object (object outside the grid) while the cursor still focus on the grid. However, the grid still have the focus after the setfocus command. My intention of doing this is make the cursor jump out from the grid when it come to last line (last row) by pressing arrow key down instead of pressing the ctrl + tab.

SetFocus() should work, although it can't be called from certain events, like Valid() and When().

You can simulate a keystroke with the KEYBOARD command. I think in this case it would be:

KEYBOARD "{Ctrl+TAB}"

Although I am not sure VFP recognizes this particular combination.

Of course, you can also simulate other keys, for instance a hotkey like Alt-A, to go to a specific object.
