I made a slight modification in that code. If dodefault returned true you don't need to get lcErrorMsg.

But I don't see other problems and it looks like you're correct. The only other suggestion would be to move textbox validation to a form's custom method and call it in BeforeSave instead of drill-down textbox validation.
