validation not fireing on button press!

I have a button on the form which has causes validation set to true... when
I click on it not one of my validating events fires on the form... every
single control with it just skips over it and the button executes its
procedure without validation... now when i go to a control then tab off it
the validating event does fire... what in the world is going on here? im
lost... it never acted like this before.... this is VS2008 with .NET 3.5

what do you mean? you never saw it act like i described or thast the way you
think it should work? I always put controls on a form and told the button
click to cause validation and it always fired the validate methods... we've
been doing it that way for years now and never had a problem

VB v7.1.3088 NET v1.1.4322 SP1 My mate has a strange problem regarding the ESC key and validation. When he hits the Cancel button on his form, the form does not validate.
