This seems like a simple thing, but it's boggling me for the moment so any hints would be appreciated.

Problem: I am losing focus when I shouldn't.

Some background: Two forms. In Form A, at the LOSTFOCUS of a control, I check to see if the item exists in another table. If exist, I display various data in a MSG with a BNY option. If the data needs to be corrected, I call Form B. At the Create Event of Form B, I read the record and do various things. This works, and when I save the changes, Form B closes and FOCUS returns to Form A.

However, if the item is new, that is, the displayed popup does not show the item and I hit the escape key the event script at LostFocus will let me add a new item. It calls Form B (essentially same code). However, the FOCUS shifts back to Form A prematurely before I can do anything in Form B. If I try to "click" Form B, nothing happens.

I know that I must be overlooking something. Any hints on what I need to look at would be apprecited.

I will also post this on the regular discussion place.

Thanks,
