Thanks
I've tried the following in the keypress of the textbox:

procedure edittextbox.Keypress()
LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
IF nKeyCode=9
set step on
nodefault
return
endif

The tab key doesn't seem to be recognized after the right click menu as the debugger isn't opened; it is if access is via the command button click.
