If I understand you correctly, what you want is to shut off validation until the user hits the edit button.

     No.  Actually, I have that covered for my main style of form.

The form that I am having trouble with is one where there is no edit button. The operator is thrown into the form appending to the table using defaults from the last row entered.

One form has a special requirement for date input (select only the day digits on entry). I have to use keyboard to set this, and that triggers the validation. (.selstart and .sellength should work, but I have found that they sometimes do not (when the control is the first control). It can also happen when focus goes off the form and comes back (as, for example, with a messagebox() call). The .activate of the control fires before that of the form, and apparently, this causes the .sel*'s to not take effect (though they are set).)
