>Is there any way to preserve the valid event of a control when selecting from a menu or toolbar which doesn't recieve the focus when selected? I have a 'WriteBuffer' procedure that I use to confirm changes in these situations that will fire the valid event, but it is too late to get the focus back to the offending control. I usually don't use the Valid event, instead I validate data just before saving, but in this case I would like to use it.

Try just setting the focus back to the control you came from in your toolbar code. This will force the control to run it's own valid.
