Joe,

That's fundamentally why as a rule the form objects should have had an atxtTextBox::LostFocus() or DoDefault() call in there overridden methods. You'll have to go find all the offending items to fix them. You can programatically use TheForm.SCX to scan for it in the Methods memo. Or write a builder that could open each form and work on it.
