focus is in the grid. client clicks outside the grid onto another control on the form. would like to validate the activecell's contents. got some notes from cetin that i am working on to validate the grid contents. but it is bothersome that i do not understand vfp sequence of events for this. turned on event tracking of the debugger, but it seems screwy. the activecell valid is never triggered, yet i get my error message. tried executing the lastcontrol.valid from the when, but does not behave as expected. anyone understand the events, or have any ideas on this?

thanks - brenda
