Why don't you just use the Valid on Text1 to return focus to itself (Return 0)?

If you subclass the Textbox and add an .OldValue property, you can then compare this with the .Value property in the Valid event to see if the contents have changed - if not, don't do anything in the Valid. You'd need to set the .OldValue property to .Value in the subclassed GotFocus event (I think its the GotFocus - I built my set of classes a long time ago so could have the wrong event but close).

I'm heading for Killiney next weekend (I come over to see the missus every other weekend). Got any work for me to do? :)
