IN VFP 3 the valid would fire all the time.

If it's now true that vlid only fires when data has changed that is a GREAT improvement.


It does mean that code that should execute when you tab out of the control belongs in the LostFocus() method. But then _really_ it always did, just you could get away with muddy thinking about the partitioning of hte responsibilities of the methods :-)
