Yes and no, I guess I understand your (and vfp developers) logic, I think, but this is not what I'm trying to do, the default firing sequence is not useful to me. Ah, well, I've found a good workaround by using a property set .F in When, .T. in Valid, and checked in BRCC to determine whether to fire...
