what i meant was, in the VALID event of the textbox itself, i d something like:

if this.value <= 0
     messagebox(&quot;ERROR!&quot;)
     return 0
endif

The problem is not that you can't call SetFocus from the button's click, but that the click was called from another object's Valid method in the calling stack.

Can you move the code in the textbox's valid to its LostFocus?
