Just started using one in a text box control, VALUE_ASSIGN. There is no controlSource, I just use .VALUE.

It appears that if code in the form does an explicit assign: ...VALUE = "00", the VALUE_ASSIGN method gets called. Neat!

But if the VALUE gets modified by user entry, the VALUE_ASSIGN method does not get called.

1) Am I understanding this right?

2) Is there another way to do it? I tried putting a This.VALUE = This.VALUE in the VALID method...when watching in the debugger, everything flashed like VFP was working away doing something I coulnd't see (even when I was stopped on a breakpoint).

TIA
