>I am using the Grid control in VFP6 SP5 and need to perform a record level validation before the user moves to a new record. So far, I have found no easy way to even detect when the user moves to another row (by mouse or by keyboard) so that I can run a validation method on the record before the new row gets focus. I want to execute a validation method once just before the row change, not after each column change, and if possibly prevent the row change if the validation fails. What I am looking for is something like the version 2.6 browse ... Valid ... - record-level validation.
