Thanks for the reply. >Write a procedure for the validation routine in the DataModule. Then >call it from the OnKeyPress event in each form.
I have about 20 forms and 10 -20 entry points on each form, so the OnKeyEvent looks like the long way round. The database is only 20 fields long but each form shows a particular set of graphic for the action so the user enters the data in the correct fields. What I would like is to attach the validation to the data field in the DM. That way I can also specify a range for the entry which will be common to all forms. Thanks Wallace.
