>>>>I use Lostfocus to Validate data in a Textbox and would not wish to validate if the user clicks on the QueryUnload to close a window. How do I detect this in VFP6 SP5 ? Bear in QueryUnload fires after Lostfocus and Mdown() always returns -1 if the Click is done on the Close Button or if the mouse is outside the active window ?

The Cancel button doesn't release the form, it just Cancels validation, but I think you're right in your observation (I'm not sure I have a simple test case). How can you suggest to amend the above code to prevent this problem (very rear anyway)?
