The reason behind the the "Un-expected" behavior is very much expected, as the Textbox control is bound to the datasource and by default the CausesValidation property of the Textbox control is true, when ever the text value of the Textbox control is changed, it causes the control to validate the data, when you erase the text, the value inside the control is modified, hence forces the control to validate the data, since the value is empty, which fails the currency validation check, the focus won't change.
Now you know the reason, post a workaround !! :) On Mar 16, 6:40 pm, Gojavid <[email protected]> wrote: > Good morning, > > I'm a newbie, so I fully expect that this is a simple issue. > > I have a databound textbox that binds to an Access database field, > Price (currency).
