>I'm converting an FPW 2.6 app to VFP6. The FPW 2.6 app uses the :V option of a browse window to validate fields. This function only fires on a changed value. In the VFP6 form, the field is in a grid and uses the valid event however this fires everytime the field is exited. I am wondering about the best way to keep the functionality of the original app without using commands like UPDATED(). IOW to validate only if the field has changed. VFP says UPDATED() is included for backward compatibility so I want to avoid this command.

What does your validation do ??? If the table isn't buffered, any changes are already commited anyway.
