If I understand you correctly, what you want is to shut off validation
until the user hits the edit button.
What I usually do is simply set enable .f. to all textboxes, setting
their disableforecolor to rgb(0,0,0) (black) so the field contents can
be seen clearly.
When the user hits the edit button, the enable property is set to .t.
Likewise, after she hits the cancel or save buttons, the setting reverts
to .f.
In this way, the user can navigate the table without any unwanted
validation code firing until it is really necessary

Dear Vixens and Reynards:
Once more, I am doing battle with the form event model. I did
not want a fight, but it appears that I have one.
I have validation on fields. What I want to do is be able to
turn this off until the form is ready for user input. How can I do this?
One possibility that I have thought of is using Form::KeyPress to
detect the first keypress. I do not think that this will work,
because I have to have a keyboard command in one gotfocus to handle a
VFP bug. (I actually have to move off the field then back on, because
otherwise, the cursor does not get set to the part of the field that I
want (the day part of a date).
I have a flag property that I use for determining whether to do
validation, and it works fine during normal use. During
initialisation, with all of the events firing, it does not work. I
think it would *IF* I could determine where I could reset the flag.
Any ideas what I can do here?
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
