In the beforerowcolchange method, do your row level validations. If that fails then use NODEFAULT to prevent the rowcol change. At least that's what the VFP help implies will accomplish what you want.
i.e. IF RowDataIsValid() MySaveDataMethod() ELSE NODEFAULT Maybe setfocus to the first column you want the use to review.

That is *NOT* what I am asking about. You are not the only one missing this. There is a reason that I keep writing "row-level". I am referring to validations that have to be done at the row-level. An individual control value might be a valid value, and another one in the row might be a valid value, but the two together might be an invalid combination. I wish to catch those errors. That is where I have the difficulty, because I can not reliably get the control values. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD04422968FB55D@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
