u can't set focus in a valid of a control
can only do it in gotfocus or lostfocus
i guess i u use the vb approach to of creating yr valid in lostfocus of the control.....could be a much better idea ... like make a baseclass and create a
method as uservalid in the lostfocus
hmmmm.... this letter's giving me ideas !!!
(why not have 2 levels of valid for a control )
