>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.

In my case, the object is textbox over pageframe. The toolbar is in the same
page of the textbox.
