Just off the top of my head, wouldn't it still be in the valid event of the control in the column? Now whether you'd have to return -1 to jump to the previous column, or more than this to jump up and down thrue the hierarchy I don't know.

Alternatively, can't you just issue SetFocus onto the required column when the condition is met?

Help?

But it happens sometimes, the first time I enter the control, if I enter the control again and made a change it works fine.
