>I need to SetFocus back to the textbox after it losses it focus when it's empty. I try setting enable = .F. for all other controls but it's not very good idea for my task. However the SetFocus won't work in Valid, compared to Init.

Gan,

You've received plenty of good advice on how to achieve a specific goal. Another approach would be to place all your validation rules in a hook, just before saving the record.

My Save() method goes like this:

IF BeforeSave()
the usual Save here
ENDIF

Then the BeforeSave()
IF !Rule for field 1
Find the offending control
put its back color in flamant red
set the focus to it
send a warning message
RETURN .F.
ENDIF

etc...
