Then Bindevent() will do it. Recurse through all textboxes you got on that form (somewhere by the end of form.init) and bindevent the textbox.valid to your form's method. Don't have VFP8 here, but I seem to remember that there was an extra parameter to tell the bound code whether it should run before or after local code in the event.
