Best Place To Do Validation

1,892 Recognized Expert Top Contributor
When is the best time to run a validation check? I've read some places to do the check on the forms before_update command, however does this work if you've hard the coded the inserts on a custom button? Does it really matter as long as it gets done?
TIA,
Aric

Off the top of my head, you generally use the 'BeforeUpdate' version if you want the opportunity to cancel an action.

I'm inclined to use AfterUpdate myself. Most of the time it doesn't make much difference.

However, most of the expert experts recommend using BeforeUpdate. Something to do with how the Jet Engine behaves in certain conditions doing an update.
