Hi Tim,

I would rather make this a business rule and set it in the field's validation. This way you can handle the error and display appropriate messages.

Though, if you require to do it this way you could create a flag via a property on the form and set this flag from the When() event of the buttons. Your valid could check for this flag and not display the messagebox.

But still... you might end up creating a new problem here... because the data would not be right if the amount is 0 and the user clicks on the Add button.

>I have a simple grid. There is an amount field that I want to be greater than zero. In the valid, I check for this.value > 0, if not true, I display a messagebox and return .F.

>Works great when I am trying to click anywhere in the grid....BUT....if I click on either the "ADD" or "DELETE" command buttons below the grid, the valid message fires, but focus seems to be set on the command button. I can click the same button again and the amount valid does not fire.
