In Foxpro 2.6 for Windows. I am trying to have a screen level validation that checks some things before the screen closes. I entered a logical statement into the screen valid section of the screen generator. I also have some buttons ( for example a save/exit button).. The save exit button contains:

GATHER MEMVAR
CLEAR READ

When the save exit button is pressed the screen level validation clause IS NOT executed

When I press ESC to exit the screen the screen level validation IS EXECUTED

What should I do in my exit button in order to (1) trigger the screen level validation and (2) exit the screen?

Thanks in advance!
