before update cancel not working

[Jim Burke in Novi]

I have a form that is bound to a table. On that form I have text fields for
various fields from the table. In some cases if the user tries to update a
field with an invalid value, I want to cancel their update. I call a function
in the field's Before update event proc that checks to see if the value is
valid, and set Cancel = True when that function returns a false value. I know
that Cancel is being set to true, checked it out in Debug mode, yet the field
remains updated afterward. Any ideas why? Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
well, never saw this. make a simple form and try it there, perhaps something
wrong with your code.
you can also try to use form's beforeupdate event
