Bonnie,

VFP does not commit the change from the control to the ControlSource until the Valid() executes.

It sounds like you are using a toolbar button or keypress to initiate your Save operation? If so those won't cause the current control to lose focus to trigger the Valid. This is one reason why I don't use toolbars, I use a use a button on the form itself.

Your form.Save() can SetFocus() to the current control, which will trigger the correct sequence to get your ControlSource updated before the rest of the save occurs.
