Normally you would expect to use the control's Valid method to determine whether that control can lose focus. However, when a control is contained within a grid, there are two levels at which focus operates. First, between the control and other controls that are also within the grid. In this context things behave normally.

It is, as you would expect, the grid’s Valid method that determines whether the grid can lose focus. However, because the grid’s Valid is called before that of any contained control, a contained control cannot prevent the grid from losing focus even though its own validation has failed.

Thanks for the explanation, Marcia. I switched to InteractiveChange of textboxes already. Does Fox Team know about this bug? Would it be fixed in the VFP7.0?

Thanks again.
