>Hi All,

>I've got 2 situations I'm a little confused with. First, how do I control the valid event within a textbox on a form and the user wants to exit the form instead of satisfying the valid.

Try to store the current value of the textbox by storing it in a custom property at WHEN event and then compare the value at the VALID event.

* WHEN Event

Thisform.prevvalue = This.Value

* VALID Event

IF Thisform.prevvalue = This.Value OR EMPTY(This.Value)
RETURN
ELSE
DO something
ENDIF


>The valid keeps firing false and preventing the form from closeing. Second, can I use multiple fields with a combobox set as a dropdown list ? I keep getting an field error when I include more then 1 field.

Your rowsourcetype should be ALIAS or FIELDS then at rowsource property it should be like this mytable.field1, field2, field3 etc.
