In order fot the Valid of the textbox to fire, an attempt has to be made to make it lose focus. The On Key Label is not making that happen.

A better way (IMO) to design this would be to have a SaveMethod at the form level. That method could validate each control. It could also SetFocus to the Save button to make the textbox's value get written to the controlsource.

F8 could call the SaveMethod and so could the Click method of the Save button.

HTH.
