Need Instructional Material (OpenInsight Specific)

I am in the need of some instructional material for OpenInsight. I have been purchased the manuals that did not come with OI. Although they do have listed all the commands/ functions they do not give me enough examples to understand the syntax for the parameters each function requires. I have also spent hours reading the online discussions. They are informative but they only give me a hint and not a full explanation of each topic. But I know that it cannot be that detailed. I would like to know if there is a more comprehensive book or possibly a good sample program that would give me a better education. I do not want to at this time spend 3 to 4 thousand dollars on a class from WinWin. I would like another choice at this time.
Thanks.

Look at the EXAMPLES database that shipped with OpenInsight. There are some decent code examples in there. There are some more sample applications and several whitepapers available in the Knowledge base section of this website. Finally, read current and back issues of Sprezzatura's SENL at www.sprezzatura.com.
You should really take the course. I hear the jokes are terrific!
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the advise of "SENL". I am in the process of looking thru some of the past issued that were posted on their WEB site. Though they seem to focus some of past issues on ARev. However my pressing question is about data validation. I have put a script on the LostFocus event of a prompt. I am trying to use FORWARD_EVENT() and combinations of RETURN 0 and 1 to stop the progress to the next event. I want to stop processing from going to the next prompt. I feel I have missed what the syntax for FORWARD_EVENT() needs to be. Any advise? Or is there a better function?

J-
Try looking at the syntax for Get_EventStatus and Set_EventStatus.
A class would be really helpful, but the jokes aren't all that great.

To stop progression to the next event in the chain, you need Return 0.
To keep focus on the current prompt, you will need to set the focus back to it after running the Forward_Event.
If you want to avoid running the GetFocus on the next prompt, you will need to set up a local common variable or property to check against to drop out of the GetFocus script before actioning anything.
