Actually it took both of you guys ideas to work. Either one by themself did not work. Here is what worked for me: I placed the following code in the click method of the Save button:

IF PEMSTATUS(_Screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl, 'Value', 5)
_Screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.Value = _Screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.Value
ENDIF
