Returning to an object in a form.

In the older version of FP I used the expression _CUROBJ =
OBJNUM( ) to return to a place on a form. I have been trying to use
the OBJECT.ACTIVECONTROL.PROPERTY to get back to a place in my form
but run out of tries. Can anyone give me an example of how to get back
to a field on a form after I call another form? I come back to my form
now at the same command button that I call the form from. I would like
to come back to an input field. I am using VFP8

Call the SetFocus() method of the object you want to have focus.

Just an FYI, remember SetFocus can't be called from within a Valid()
event.....I know that isn't what you are referring too, just wanted to
pass it along.

Thank you all, Stephen, works fine. Better than the old way.
