TextBox_Exit not receiving event when user tabs off of multi-page form

I have a textbox control on a page of a multi-page control. If the user
enters text into that control and tabs out of the control to the OK button
(not contained within the page of the multi-page control) then the
TextBox_Exit event isn't received. If I keep tabbing and the focus comes
back into the Multi-Page control, the TextBox_Exit event is received and
processed. How can I always catch this event?

I normally use _Change for texboxes, but that has its own set of
problems too. An excellent way around is to all data validation on
form OK, msgbox if errors, and return to the form. Cancel just quits
natch.

I generally like to take care of the automatic formatting as early on in the
process so that the user gets that instant gratification of seeing things
"fixed" automatically.

I am guessing that the Page is getting an _Exit event and not the textbox
control.
