Maybe you should try keeping all valididity checks in the valid
method, and then specifically call the valid method from the lost focus method. It's kind of a "hack" fix, but it should work.... That should fire whenever they tab out, click out, hit enter etc. You run the risk of firing the valid procedure twice in a lot of cases, but if your valid is small enough, it shouldn't matter.
