Am I missing something here? If the value of the checkbox does not change when you are "passing through," why would you want to validate it? You validated it the last time it was changed or initialized. I am sorry, but I don't see what the problem is? If you want to prove that nothing happened, capture the value in gotfocus and compare it to the current value in lostfocus. I think. Also, your code is too complex. Txtpartnumber is always equal to chkfinished and txtdiameter is alwas equal to NOT(chkfinished). 2 lines is all you need instead of the 7 you are using.
