You've made my point for me. I think that anyone who hasn't used
anything before VFP is NOT likely to use Valid because it's not very
clear when it occurs, whereas LostFocus is clear (and consistent with
other products) about when it occurs.=20
Question: since you use Valid, then what do you use LostFocus for? From
what you've said here, you're sometimes putting code in both the Valid
and LostFocus. Why do that?=20
