As Jim B. pointed out, rethink your interface.

Cetin Basoz posted a link to someone else with a similar problem a few days ago. Here it is: (Thanks Cetin):

"As Ken pointed out it's documented in BUG: Focus Changes Even Though Grid Text Box Valid Returns .F. with no workaround."


>I have a txtbox in a grid with the valid set to fire a messagebox and return 0 when a data condition is not met. It works fine unless you click on a control outside of the grid. Then the event fires properly but the clicked on control still gets focus after the messagebox leaving bad data in the txtbox. What do I need to do to prevent this?
