John,

In valid, you can return a number...postive or negative...to move focus forward or backward that number of controls. May not be good design, though... :)

>OK,I know you can't but here is the problem. I have a sign-in form with one user input text box where they enter a password to sign in/out. I have a valid in the text box to find and display the user name and status. I have two buttons: Sign In & Sign Out. Depending on their status I need to set focus to the proper button. I need both buttons in case they forgot to sign in /out the last time and have to select the other button. I can't set focus from within the valid of the text box. I tried putting it in the LostFocus() but it causes the Valid() to fire again. I know I'm missing something here.
>TIA
