I would

- take the focus off the grid
- select grid.RecordSource
- Success = TRUE
- scan all while Success
    Success = ValidateInfo()
  endscan

do case
case !m.Success

otherwise
    begin transaction
    save the lot
    
    if( SomeErrorDuringSave )
      rollback
    else
      end transaction
    endif

endcase
