>>Check the Value versus the ControlSource for the current control. If different, do a REPLACE controlsource with value and that should trigger GETFLDSTATE or whatever else you are using.

>>This is a similar issue to the problems of hitting Save on a toolbar wasn't saving changes in the current control because focus was not formally lost.

>>>I have an "on shutdown" routine that cycles through all forms and attempts to close them. If a form detects uncommitted changes to any data, it prompts the user if they will like to save or discharge them.
>>>
>>>The problem is that if the user is still in a textbox where changes have made but then they click the upper right "X" (to shutdown the app). The focus isn't taken off the textbox so the buffer doesn't know about the change in the contents of the textbox. How can I shift the focus off the textbox or force the changes into the buffer?
