>I haven't tested what goes on when the typeahead buffer is already filled past the item which fires the Valid(), so I'll assume that you're right. My intention will be to fill the typeahead buffer using Wscript.Shell's AppActivate() and SendKeys() immediately after having VFP call Sleep() for ~ 10 seconds, and trap the results on wakeup, and at Valid() and LostFocus().

Well, I've never seen it fail to be correct. I see we're up to some of our old tricks.:-)
