Hi Toby, For drawing the error border, flex uses the Focus Manager. If you use a focusSkin, it lloks like it over-rides the focus rectangle drawn with the errorColor. Try taking that skin out, to see if it comes back. Don't know about the comboBox. Have you verified that the validation failure is actually setting the errorString? You can try this; to find out if it's a skin or logic problem:
