I have a writebuffer method for that:

LOCAL llRetval
llRetVal = .T.

*-- Code to save field value to buffer when
*-- clicking on toolbar without leaving the field
*-- Don't do this for a grid since a grid may change
*-- work areas unexpectedly
IF TYPE("thisform.ActiveControl") == "O" AND ;
    UPPER(thisform.ActiveControl.BaseClass) <> "GRID"
  IF TYPE("thisform.ActiveControl.ControlSource") <> "U" AND ;
      !EMPTY(thisform.ActiveControl.ControlSource)
    IF EVAL(thisform.ActiveControl.ControlSource) <> thisform.ActiveControl.Value
      REPLACE (thisform.ActiveControl.ControlSource) WITH thisform.ActiveControl.Value
      *-- We rely on the fact that we revert the field's value
      *-- in the error event method for the form. 
      llRetVal = (EVAL(thisform.ActiveControl.ControlSource) = thisform.ActiveControl.Value)
    ENDIF
  ENDIF
ENDIF

RETURN llRetVal
