Hi Tom,

On your say-so, I just went back and tried it in VFP6. I don't get the buttonclick messagebox. You do? I wonder what's different. For me it operates in 6 the same as 9. I get the textbox message, but not the button click message.

Could you please confirm for me exactly what you're seeing? Maybe it's a switch I have differently set somewhere.

So we're on the same wavelength, the form comes up, and I click the button. I get one messagebox only. Do you get 2?

MessageBox("TextBox Valid")

to be

MessageBox("TextBox Valid",0,2000)

But it makes no difference. The button click doesn't fire.
