Hi Jim -

Usually Valid() is a good place for validation and subsequent actions etc.
IOW, at that point the user has completed her/his input.

InterActiveChange() happens earlier - there you can "listen" while the user is still typing;
for example in a "Filter" textbox you could Requery('yourLocalView') after each single character to get a kind of incremental search in a separate grid.
