That is one of the main reasons why data binding is evil... There might be something in the event of the dataenvironment like the ff. which you could use to intercept changes to the database...
VB Code:
Private Sub datPrimaryRS_WillChangeRecord(ByVal adReason As ADODB.EventReasonEnum, ByVal cRecords As Long, adStatus As ADODB.EventStatusEnum, ByVal pRecordset As ADODB.Recordset)
'This is where you put validation code
'This event gets called when the following actions occur
Dim bCancel As Boolean
Select Case adReason
Case adRsnAddNew
Case adRsnClose
Case adRsnDelete
Case adRsnFirstChange
Case adRsnMove
Case adRsnRequery
Case adRsnResynch
Case adRsnUndoAddNew
Case adRsnUndoDelete
Case adRsnUndoUpdate
Case adRsnUpdate
End Select
If bCancel Then adStatus = adStatusCancel
End Sub
