Validating a field and Cancel button

Hi there, I need help with this PLEASE :)
I have a form that has a text box field that cannot be left blank, so I have a Validate event for it. Now that said, when I user makes a mistake and wants to cancel out of the form altogether by pressing a Cancel button, the application won't let him get out of the text box until the correct data is entered. This is very annoying... Is there anyway that the validation can be skipped if the user clicks on a specific button? Or is there any other way to solve this?
Thanks a lot :)

Set the CausesValidation property of the cancel command button to false.

Try this:

cmdCancel.CausesValidation = False

Thank you guys! That's exactly what I needed...
