>I am looking for a way to keep the Valid event on a TextBox from firing if I click on a navigation button (cmdCancel). There is code behind the Valid Event of the Textbox that requires data entry. However, if the user clicks cmdCancel I want the form to stop everything do all TableReverts without caring about whether or not there is text in the current TextBox that has the focus. I could not find anything written that describes how to keep some event from firing.

Eric,

Set the cancel property of cmdCancel to .t. (you probably have already done this). In the valid method of the text box, you can check for the escape key:

if lastkey() <> 27
    * do validation stuff here
else
    * the user clicked on the cancel button (or pressed the escape key)
endif

HTH,
