Sorry... I guess I should have specified how to get to the textbox. I forget that the same things aren't obvious to all people. :)

I guess we traded. I learned that you can put a browse in a screen (not that I'd ever want to < grin >) and you learned how to find the hidden controls in the grid.

BTW, you can change the controls in the grid by choosing it in the property sheet, clicking on the column, hitting delete, then clicking on the item on the form controls toolbar, then clicking on the column. How's that for an "obvious" sequence of events?

HOWEVER, when I clicked on the name of my grid at the top of the PROPERTIES box, I noticed a TEXT1 line, so I selected it. VOILA! The missing VALID event is there. Yahoo!!! (I hope that isn't a trademarked yell for the people at Yahoo! now...)

> hdrDebit
> Text1
