>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>I'm calling ValidateCurrentRow method from the Valid and BeforeRowColChange events of the grid. Everything seems to work as I want with one minor problem: suppose, I'm on the particular cell in the grid (the column that requires validation) and I click a button outside the grid after entering a value in that cell, I still get a validation message. So, the valid event of the textbox doesn't happen.
>>>
>>>How can I ensure that the valid method of that cell happened before the validation takes place?

>>>Thanks in advance.

>I don't think you can call SetFocus from the Valid method. Also, can you be more specific, how would I know from the ValidateCurrentRow method (called from Valid or BRCC) which column to set focus to?

You'll have to test whether a BRCC fires the Valid(). If it does not, I don't think the value of the cell will get updated in the controlsource
