Try to replace texbox with editbox which is more suitable for entering a lot of text.

>I have an large veterinary management application that I recently migrated from vfp7 > vfp9. Several users of the system use Dragon Naturally Speaking to voice dictate into the textbox's that constitute the medical record. This worked fine in the vfp7 version - user places cursor in text box.. activates microphone.. dictates. In vfp9 as soon as the microphone is activated we recieve an vfp error 1881 data type mismatch. The vfp focus from the text box appears to be lost. Anyone have any experience with this?
