I use the lost focus event of the text box for my data validation. I have a "&Save" button on the form so the user can do an ALT+S, however this skips over the lost focus event. I need some way to make the lost focus event get fired off. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Using ALT+XX skips lost focus event - need to validate

Well I'm sure there is a more professional way, but for a quick dirty fix just put the following in the beginning of your cmdSave_Click event or whatever event that is called when someone pushes "ALT-S":
Text1.SetFocus 'obviously use the right control name
Command1.SetFocus 'obviously use the right control name
That'll give the focus to the textbox control and then give the focus to your button which will cause Text1_LostFocus() to fire.
Text1.SetFocus 'obviously use the right control name
