2> In the designer, point each text box to this event.

3> In the form load area add this:

this.textInput1.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Form.KeyEventHandler(this.text1ValidationEvent)

Repeat this for all my text boxes (this.text2ValidationEvent , etc.). Then write the specific validation methods and name them accordingly?
Not bad for a self-proclaimed newbie.
