The Valid event of a combo box object in a page frame fires before the Gotfocus
event after accessing the combo box multiple times.

the focus to another page. Move the "Click me - back to page 1" button to the
form level instead.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a form and add a two page Page frame. In the second page of the page
  frame, add a command button and then add a combo box object. (In that order.)

2. Set the following properties and events of the command button:

        Caption ="Click me - Back to page 1"
        Click= thisform.pageframe1.activepage=1

3. Set the following properties and events of the combo box:

        RowSource = 1,2,3,4,5
        RowSourceType=1-value
        Valid event= =Messagebox("Valid Fired")
        GotFocus event= =Messagebox("GotFocus Fired")

4. Run the form.

  Click Page two of the page frame. Next, click the drop-down combo box and
  select any number. Note that the GotFocus event fires before the Valid event.
  Click the "Click me - Back to Page 1" button on the second page. Now, repeat
  these steps noting that the Valid event fires before the GotFocus event this
  time.
