Hi Nancy,

I'm sorry, you replied while I was updating my message. Re-read it again, please. And I think I know why I didn't see messagebox. It is probably error handler was in effect which ate the error "function is not defined"... Or something similar happened...

>>I believe you may be mistaken. It does have to do with SET NOTIFY. In my test form I have different behavior depending on this setting. I just dropped my class on the form and one regular textbox class. In the form's load I tried SET NOTIFY ON. In this case I see my error message (which is now wait window). If I put SET NOTIFY OFF, I do not see messagebox, but the focus stays in the control.
