Form close event occurs before lost focus event
James
If you're using the LostFocus technique of validation, this is one of
the problems that arises. In the Form_QueryUnload event put all
validation that you want to do (including the hitherto focussed field).
If any failures, display your messagebox and then set Cancel = True
before exiting. This will retain the form.
