I see the problem now. I don't know how to work around it. GotFocus fires just after the 'CTRL+F', even in VFP 8.

>It brings it up, but it doesn't work properly. If you try to find some text, it highlights it for about a milisecond and then it's gone.

>1) Subclassed the baseclass and made sure it still worked to rule out the act of subclassing breaking it
>2) Added a property to the form just so it had something to change. (lProperty)
>3) In the GotFocus(), I put THISFORM.lProperty = .T.

>Without the GotFocus() code, it works fine. With it, I get the behaviour I described above.
