Hi Lyle, 

Thanks for the help above, it does seem to work by itself, but I can't
seem to integrate it with frames (I have 4 vertical frames sitting in
a horizontal one). It always the _NEXT always ends up on focusing at
the first control in the frame, and previous takes it to the last
control in the last frame. 

I've played around with it quite a bit, but haven't been successful so
far... I'm sure it should be obvious, but obviously not to me. Any
more great words of FXWisdom?

Thanks,
Gordon
