thanks, I reiterated though my controls and it worked out well.

>>I have a pageframe that contains several pages. Each page has a container holding textboxes. I have set the tab order on these textboxes. I also have a dbi-tech treeview control that flips pages on pageframe. How do I setfocus on first textbox control in a container on pages? Do I have to iterate through all controls starting with pageframe or is there a simple way of doing this?
