i apologize for posting this problem again but I am at a loss as to where to look for a solution. I have scoured the internet asking every question I could think of to get some pertinent information but have not had any luck . The only answer I found was to set the causes validation property to false, which I tried but it did not work.Is there any solution to this problem or is it just an unfixed bug? I would appreciate any feedback at all. Thanks - John
P.S. I have moved this button's logic to another click event and the logic works so it can't be getting lost there.
