Execute the Validate of a Textbox in a Form

tompynation

Is it possible to programmatically, execute the OnValidate trigger of a textbox on a Form?

no. If you need to execute the code behind the OnAfterValidate() trigger of a textbox, you must create a function and this function you call from OnAfterValidate() and from other triggers / functions.

One of the reasons why you should not program anything in any of the form triggers. If you need something to happen as a result of entering some value, that should be programmed in the OnValidate trigger of the field in the table object itself. That way, it will always do the same thing, regardless of which form the data is entered.
