You can use the OnValidateField event of TIB_Query.

Assunto: Re: [IBO] Trapping the TAB-key

Hello Again NICO

Thanks for the tip, it gave me a starting point..
But there still is a problem , but because KeyPreview works with
keyboard events, and the TAB-key don't generate a
Keyboard event. According to the help-file.

And the database field have an EditMask, and I narrowed it down the the
error aoccuring at dataset-level, when the field
isn't completed. And after trying different dataset event I still wasn't
able to catch the error.

But know I have found a way, with code in a KeyUp-event that work
around the problem.

Regards
Freddy
