[Quoted] Hi there,

   I got a problem here in Forms4.5

    I have three itmes: item1, item2, item3.  item2 is keyed in by user, and item2 is populated based on the value of item1. Now, focus is on item3 and being tabed over, an WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger is fired. I want to put some new validation in it based on the value [Quoted] of item2. If the validation fail, we want the focus moved to item1 to give user a second chance. However, this trigger will never let you leave item3. [Quoted] I there another way I can put the validation in? KEY-NEXT-ITEM doesn't work [Quoted] because it is fired before WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM, and I need some result from that trigger to do the new validation.

Any idea?
