Merçi, Sylvain.

Unfortunately, it didn`t work. I tried both VALID() and SETFOCUS(). Finally, I did the following:

IF TYPE("ThisForm.ActiveControl") = 'O' .AND. !ISNULL(ThisForm.ActiveControl)
IF VARTYPE(ThisForm.ActiveControl.Value) <> 'U'
ThisForm.ActiveControl.Value = ThisForm.ActiveControl.Value
ENDIF
ENDIF

À bientôt

>>I have a very basic form where the keypress event traps ctrl+up or down arrow to skip records. On this form are fields for editing data. When I type information in the field and do a ctrl+arrow without first exiting the field, the data is not written to the field. What is it I have to do in order to force the data to be written (a form.refresh does nothing)?
