Yes, I have all my validation in my business objects. I was just trying
to show you that you can get around the problem of the toolbar buttons
not getting focus and so the valid of a control with focus never
running. The example probably wasn't very effective as I haven't had to
do this in many many years since it is all handled by the framework I
use which makes use of toolbars without any problems.
Maybe I'll get some time in the next few days to look at your example.
Frank.

I haven't time to set up the code you sent, but if I understand what
you are trying to show, add one line of code to the start of the
click method of the toolbar button, before your messagebox:
_Screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.SetFocus()
That doesn't work. The control gets focus, then the messagebox runs,
and the form shuts down.
Even if there was some way to make this work, it's a bad idea to tie
validation code to the controls that display the data. If you need to
handle the same data elsewhere, now you have to duplicate your
validation code.
