consider MDI parent form

Add the tag: Forms, APS.NET, what?!
By the way, never use MDI! Don't get yourself in trouble and scare off customers. Use, say tabbed UI.

You can't: The Validating event always happens before the Click event, so your validating handler has no way to know where the focus will end up and what will happen next.

The only way you could do anything like that is very messy: set a timer in the Validating event, and cancel it in the button click. If the timer elapses then do the actual validation. Nasty stuff. As a User, that would probably annoy me, as I use TAB to move between fields a lot and if I get there, I expect to be able to type immediately.

It might be better to consider using later validation for some fields - when the user clicks "OK" perhaps?
