Yes, that looks like a lot of work.

That should be more or less equivalent to valid (number). Also a kludge: in both cases you have to count objects, and adjust if you insert additional objects.
BTW, with the KEYBOARD command, I think you can also use "{TAB}" instead of chr(9). This might make it more readable.
As a workaround, if you can't SetFocus() within the Valid() event, you might postpone it with a Timer (with a brief interval). But I don't know whether this works; perhaps the Valid() will then fire again.
