Default SetFocus in a custom dialog

Hi

I have a logon dialog created with two fields (username & password)
and two buttons (login and cancel).

I'm checking with an event if the fields are empty and enable the
login-button only then.

Private Sub txtPwd_AfterUpdate()
If Me.txtUsr.Value < "" And Me.txtPwd.Value < "" Then
Me.cmdLogin.Enabled = True
Me.cmdLogin.SetFocus
Else
Me.cmdLogin.Enabled = False
Me.txtPwd.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

If both fields (Username and Password) are different than "" then I
enable the login-button. And I also want to set the focus on this
login button. But although I do this using the Me.cmdLogin.SetFocus
the focus is set to the next item (the cancel-button). I've tried to
set it on the password-field or any other object, but it just isn't
setting the focus on the login-button.

What am I doing wrong?

Any hint appreciated.

Matthias
