> hi everyone
> I created a validation rule for a field in a table, it worked perfect using the normal browse command but I faced a problem when i linked this table to a grid control in a form. when I insert a wrong figure in this filed which fires the validation message, I can no more scroll through the table using the ENTER key nor the arrow keys, all I can do is to go to another cell using the mouse and have the previous cell still highlighted...... did anyone face this problem and how to solve it??

Hi

You appear to have used a grid for data input. This is not a good idea as many people over the years have found out! Put individual fields on the form and handle any errors in your save routine. I would also advise against using the table rules. It's much better to create business objects which host all your application logic.
