Bonnie,
Which version of VFP are you using? I just tested this in VFP8 and the Textbox.Valid() and .LostFocus() both fire when you click onto the page when focus is on a textbox.
>thanks for the reply. Once a user clicks on the 'grey space' of the page frame, I don't have any way of refering to the last control that they were on, do I? ActiveControl is now Page1.
