I am entering avalues into another text box and I want it to surrender Focus to another textbox if the value I have entered is the same as the one in the database.However what is happening is that  if the value is the same as in the database the cursor just disappears and it does not give focus to the control that I want it to give focus to. Any ideas on how I can correct this.

Private Sub txtProducedAt_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtProducedAt.TextChanged
 
        Dim iSql As String = "SELECT ID,SiteName   FROM  Sites WHERE SiteName = '" & txtProducedAt.Text & "'     "
        Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(iSql, LoginForm1.Conn)
        Dim dTable As DataTable = New DataTable
        da.Fill(dTable)
        If dTable.Rows.Count = 0 Then
 
            Exit Sub
 
        ElseIf dTable.Rows.Count > 0 Then
 
            txtProducedAt.Text = dTable.Rows(0)("SiteName").ToString
 
            txtAccountNumber.Focus()
 
        End If
 
    End Sub

Hello, 

To focus on the textbox, you will need to focus on the textbox element of the control. E.g. 
Me.RadTextBox1.TextBoxElement.Focus()

You can see more about the textbox control element structure here
Thanks
