I have, so far, been spectacularly unsuccessful in placing code in a control's Validate(). In my latest attempt, the user inputs an item #. The Validate() SEEKs the # in the inventory table and, if not found, throws a messagebox to the screen informing the user of the problem and returning him/her to the control (RETURN(.F.)). The problem is that the Validate() method gets called three times by VFP 3.0, so I have to click thru 3 msg boxes to get back to my control.

Help!

TIA.
