>I have a combobox - (set up as a drop down list). It presents certain values (months) which the user can choose from. Depending upon other values in the form some months are unlikely, but not impossible, choices and the user is prompted via the valid clause to confirm that they do indeed mean to select a particular month. (so it's more a This.Advisory clause rather than a This.Valid clause!)

>If a user selects the dropdown with the mouse the valid triggers as soon as the mouse is released and the user can elect to accept the value or return to the combo. However, if the user returns to the combo and then uses the keyboard button, the control loses focus without the valid being triggered again.
