Hi Rex.

>> Sorry, I want to validate the info in the current record before allowing the record pointer to move. I understand that if the nColIndex does not change, you are changing rows. <<

And yet another solution < g >. I put this in the BeforeRowColChange of my grid class:

WITH This
  IF .lValidatingRow
    NODEFAULT
  ELSE    
    .nRecNo = RECNO(.RecordSource)
  ENDIF
ENDWITH

And this in AfterRowColChange:

LOCAL lnRec2GoTo
WITH This
  IF .nRecNo = 0
     RETURN
  ENDIF   
  *** Save the current record number in case we have changed rows
  SELECT (.RecordSource)
  lnRec2GoTo = RECNO()
  *** Check to see if the row has changed
  IF lnRecNo # .nRec2GoTo
    *** We are validating the row we are attempting to leave...set the flag
    .lValidatingRow = .T.
    GOTO .nRecNo
    IF .ValidateCurrentRow()
      GOTO lnRec2GoTo
    ENDIF
    *** Finished with validation...reset flag
    .lValidatingRow = .F.
  ENDIF   	     
ENDWITH    	

ValidateCurrentRow is a template method that gets coded in the instance.
