Thanks for the input, everyone. I did notice the frmUpdateEvent when
stepping through, but when stepping through everything updates so slowly.
The debugger pauses with that invalid value on the screen and it just bugs
me. :) I guess I just wanted to prevent it from ever occuring. When not
stepping through, I'm sure I can pop up a dialog before the user even notices.
I'm beginning to think that simply alerting the user to the invalid entry is
the best solution. It's really not _THAT_ important that the user be prevented
from entering invalid numbers. The program is a bowling score recorder and
if the user wants to cheat and claim to have bowled a 437, who am I to
disagree? :) I'll simply remind them that the score is invalid, incase it
was entered in error.
