Robin,
FWIW never use valid in a grid (suggestion - language supports it though). When you need a validation LostFocus is generally a much better place. ie:

*Lostfocus
if !this.value $ 'FS'
  nodefault
  messagebox('F or S only.')
  this.Setfocus()
endif

However for just allowing F,S to be entered you don't need any code. Set :
Format : M
Inputmask : F,S && ( or ,F,S if you allow empty value)

Values could be typed either by F,S or using space (space cyles between available values).
