hello Helen,

sorry to be so late in answering to your post. I have made as you
suggested, that's to say call TIB_Column.FocusControl before raising the
exception but the result is the same: The control is not focused.

I have made a bit of debugging into IB_Components and I have had the
confirmation that TIB_Column.FocusControl is implemented, but continuing
the debugging the execution stream finally ends into TIB_DataLink abstract
(empty is more correct) method and that's why nothing happens and the
control is not focused.

So the problem (IMHO) is that TIB_DataLink.FocusControl implementation is
missing and need to be done by Jason.

Comments?

Regards
Salvatore
