Hi Mike,

>I used your return 0 in the valid of the text box, but how do I let the user get out if they want to cancel and don't want to enter data. I have a cancel button but the text box will not allow me to exit because it keeps returning the 0 to keep me there.

The code has to be conditional, example:

if lConditionPassed
	return .t. &&move on
else
	return 0  &&Can't leave, invalid data
endif

Does this make sense?
