>(After more testing) I see why the funny order now...I add toolbars to formset and menu to form. Depending on what you add where, you can change the firing sequence to several different orders...perhaps it's best to do everything in one place, like the formset init.

Bruce-
You can also change the firing order by setting focus to a control in the form in an event before the init. Doing so requires the form.activate fire before it was meant to.
