Is there a Solution for this problem?

I have entry fields that the user fills in with numbers by using the  
tab, return or enter keys. Each field is checked for a range of  
scores by catching the exit or close field. If the user enters a  
number that is above the range for the entry field, a dialog box  
appears warning them of the mistake and puts the focus back on the  
field.  Here is my question: I found that if the user uses the tab,  
return or enter keys to enter the data with fields and then goes back  
using the cursor and changes a data entry that is above above the  
range and instead of using the above keys then uses the mouse to  
click a Calculate button which computes the scores and goes to the  
next card, the error box does not appear but I get an execution  
error  in the standalone. How do you trap for this when the user does  
not use the tab, enter or return keys but uses the mouse to move the  
cursor to click on the calculate button?
