I saw a question about this in the archives but threre was no definite solution so I'l ask it again to see if anyone has found an answer.

In a grid in the valid of a textbox I check some data to see if it is ok to proceed - If not I run a form that gives information and returns data including whether or not it is OK to procedd with the input. If it is not I issue a RETURN .F. and sure enought focus stays on the textbox. IF it is OK to proceed I just let the code proceed BUT focus does not leave the textbox. And of course everytime I try to leave the text box the valid fires and focus stays put.

What is the best way to advance to the next column if there are no errors. Keep in mind there may be more than one check in the valid so I have to let all the code execute.

Thanks in advance.
