Hello Steven

If what Vlad suggests is not the case then you may also want to check that you have not accidentally entered some characters into the forms ERROR event.

Even a few spaces will effectively switch off VFP's error handling and errors may be occurring in your VALID condition which you are not seeing.

This problem caused me hours of fun when it happened to me:(
