My dumb solution to this problems was to "blank" the field that is being validated when user inputs an invalid data. This solution would also return .T. if the field is blank in order to temporarily "skip" the validation. If it is a required field, I "revalidate" to make sure data is valid just before saving the data (like in click event of the "Save" button). If "revalidation" fails, I setfocus to that data field and notify user to enter a valid field before saving.
