Unless there is a much more elegant method, you may try a good ole' Win32 method: - use Spy++ to find the dialog ID of the control (s): - use Setup Window title to find the dialog HWND (you may be doing this already to parent your message window) - get HWND of the control using GetDlgItem - call SetFocus(hwnd)

Incase of any blank values - I popup a message box from the custom action code to notify the user but I am not able to set the focus back to the erroring field. Is there a way to set the focus from the Next Button to the erroring field from the Custom action code.
