If the forms are similar you could use Form inheritance or Frames to cut
down on the number of different entry points. A master form with all
the entry points and validation, with inherited forms showing different
layouts.

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.
