>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.

John,
IIRC, you can set the focus from the LostFocus event, but not the Valid. However, if you add a custom property to check on the control and assign it during the Valid event, you'll get the same results by checking the property in LostFocus.
