This idea will work but I'm not sure you want to use it.

(1) Add a property to the form r_moveok
(2) In the valid of the grid text, display the message and set this property to .F. if invalid data. Else set this property to .T.
(3) In the getfocus of the other objects on the screen use the following code:
if thisform.r_moveok = .F.
thisform.grid1.setfocus
return .f.
endif

This is a little hokey but it might give you somewhere to start.
