In the Keypress event of my form, I allow the user to press F3 to open a new additional (different) form.

If the user presses F3 when the focus is on a textbox that has code in it’s valid event (even if the code is just a WAIT WINDOW), and if the form that is called calls the SetFocus() method of one of it’s controls (very common in the init’s of most of my forms) then I get the error message:

"Cannot call SetFocus from within a When, Valid, RangeHigh, or RangeLow Event."

I could solve my problem by getting rid of either my Valid or my SetFocus, but because I want them both, I’m looking for a different approach.
