Bob ~ Do I sense a touch of sarcasm ?

User needs to select a bank account in order to enter statement details.
At any point, they can escape out of the program and return later to enter
more details.

The first time they select an account, they will need to enter some
additional details - ie Openning / Closing Balance.
It is not neccessary to re-enter this information on subsequent entries.

I just though that if the user selects a bank account from a combo list and
has already filled in the additional details, I would like the program to
take them straight to the data entry screens.

Is that unreasonable in a GUI environment ?

I thought the natural point to do this was during the validate event as that
was when I was checking the account.

I am only trying to unload a small sub-form.
