Antonio,

It all depends on where you click. Objects like menus and toolbars never getfocus, so teh contrl that had focus doesn't lose it. The Valid fires in the process of the control losing focus. You alos won't fire the valid if you click on the start bar and select a different applciation.

For toolbars and enis in VFP you can address the issue by inlcuding the following lines of code in every method that may fire as a result of hitting a menu or toolbar button.

IF TYPE(_SCREEN.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.Name) = "C"
   IF PEMSTATUS(_SCREEN,ActiveForm.ActiveControl, "SetFocus",5)
      _SCREEN.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.SEtFocus()
   ENDIF
ENDIF
* The rest of the code here

The code checks to be sure there is an activecontrol and then it checkls to be sure that control has a SetFocus method. It then calls teh setfocus fo teh current control. By setting focus to itself a control will fier its valid, LostFocus, When, and finally the GotFocus.
