Hi Ira,
You might create a form property like THISFORM.WeAreEditing
and set it to .T. when you're editing the current record.Then
in the when event method of the textbox bound to the data you
could do the following:

IF thisform.WeAreEditing
RETURN .F.
ENDIF

I think this code would deny access to the field if he was
not finished with the first row. Ofcourse, you need to set
the flag .F. when the record is saved.

Good luck
Hugh
