I am using the RowValid() to check for required Empty fields like the CodeMine online help does in the tutorial.

It works fine, except if the field I am checking is in a Child Form (child form is based on FrmDataChildCustom and shares the cmrule with the parent form). The following code in the RowValid():

IF NOT EMPTY(m.cErrorField)
    * Display a message describing the error.
    THIS.DisplayMessage('A \c is required for this Form.', THIS.NiceFieldName(m.cWorkarea, m.cErrorField))

    * If we are in a form, this will put focus on the field with the error
    THIS.SetFocusField(m.cWorkarea, m.cErrorField)
    RETURN .F.
  ENDIF
  RETURN .T.

evidently ignores the line THIS.SetFocusField(m.cWorkarea, m.cErrorField) if it is dealing with a field on the Child Form. In otherwords, what is suppose to happen is the cursor is suppose to return to the field that was left empty. However, that does happen on the Parent Form, but not a Child Form.

Any help is appreciated.
