> OK it goes like this: the user enters information in the first text box that then gets checked to see if it is valid. After that, the user has the option to look up other information gathered and shown on the grid, or go on to the second text box. In the second text box I close data and check to see if the entry is valid in another view. The ghosting was occuring when I was closing the data from the initial check in the first text box to see if there was a valid entry.

Winn,

hmmmmm, strange. Something like not getting out of a valid clause perhaps
