can't set focus on control - page click fires instead

[205xld]

I'm up against a tight deadline and completely stuck. Can anyone help?

I have a textbox (txtmanufact) on a page (page1) that I cannot seem to get focus on when running. The control is enabled and shows the tooltip when you mouse over it, but when you try to put the cursor in the textbox the page.click() fires instead. I've turned event tracking on and Mouseenter and Mousemove events fire for the control, but that's all.

The code is complex and legacy, so I've been searching to try to find something that could cause this behaviour - any ideas please?

A sample of the event logging is:
41159.781, claim.pageframe1.page1.txtmanufact.MouseMove(0, 0, 561, 197)
41159.781, claim.pageframe1.page1.MouseMove(0, 0, 561, 197)
41159.781, claim.pageframe1.page1.MouseUp(1, 0, 561, 197)
41159.781, claim.pageframe1.page1.Click()
41159.812, claim.pageframe1.page1.txtmanufact.MouseMove(0, 0, 561, 197)
41159.812, claim.pageframe1.page1.MouseMove(0, 0, 561, 197)
41159.812, claim.Paint()
41162.031, claim.pageframe1.page1.MouseDown(1, 0, 561, 197)
41162.203, claim.pageframe1.page1.MouseUp(1, 0, 561, 197)
41162.203, claim.pageframe1.page1.Click()

Is there code in the click() method?

Have you got a BINDEVENTS() in there anywhere?

No, I'm afraid not. I'm using VFP7 - I think bindevent() is on 8 or 9 isn't it?

Dave - there is code in the Page1.click() method, but not in the txtmanufact.click()

Hi Folks. Panic over - thanks for your help. The solution was straightforward (isn't that always the case?). There was a relation set between the controlsource table of the textbox (a child table) and another master table. I was creating a new record in the master table without a corresponding child record, so in trying to click in the control I was trying to write to a record that wasn't there.

Sorry about that - couldn't see the wood for the trees!
