Cetin,

I tried your coding and it worked correctly on one grid in a form within the formset. On another grid in another form in the same formset it did not work.
I checked the code over and over again.
Are there some scenarios under which the grid/valid technique does not work properly?
Many thanks.

>>I am having a problem with a valid clause of a text box in a grid returning .f. but allowing the control to lose focus. Here is the scenario:

>>The form (contained in a formset) has a grid with three text boxes. On the same form there are some command buttons. If I enter invalid data in the text box a message box with an error message is displayed, I return 0 and the focus remains correctly in the text box. If I then click on one of the command buttons, the command button gets the focus, my message box about the invalid data is displayed and then the command button incorrectly gets the focus.
