On one form I force the user to follow a particular sequence of input boxes by using SETFOCUS in the LOSTFOCUS method. Typical code would look like this:

    this.parent.txtSTAYnChildren.setfocus()
    nodefault

I have become aware that the VALID method fires again when I do this. (VFP 9)

Normally this would be invisible since the VALID method has just succeeded. In one case, however, I ask the user to verify a condition in the VALID. So now the user gets asked twice to verify the condition.

Can anyone confirm this? Is it SOP? Is there any way around it?

BTW, I have tested placing the NODEFAULT line first and this makes no difference.
