>>Setfocus() is not allowed to be called from a valid event of a textbox, editbox or spinner (there may be others, I don't know of). Not only that but setfocus() cannot be called if the valid event is anywhere in the call stack! I understand that doing a setocus within the same form or formset should not be allowed, but this is going too far!

>>So, it's often the case in our system that a form is required to validate a users input. For example a form with an optionbuttons. If that form does a setfocus() anywhere then we get the usual error. So how on earth can I call a setfocus() (or do the programmatic equivalent) in a form that is separate to the form on which the valid() event is running??
