No metter if the value is changed or not when the Combo has the focus when the user try to change it Valid Event is Fired. If you want to do this programaticly w/o Combo got the focus do something like:

IF NOT thisform.Combo1.Valid()
   *** Message Here 
   thisform.Combo1.SetFocus()
ENDIF

It is better to put Validation of the combo in some Form method, something like:

*** Combo Valid
RETURN thisform.ValidOfCombo()

*** Then the code above will looks like:

IF NOT thisform.ValidOfCombo()
   *** Message Here 
   thisform.Combo1.SetFocus()
ENDIF
