If none of the standard, expected stuff works, how about something like:

The LostFocus event of the textbox accumulatively stores its value in a form prop., e.g.

Thisform.cTextBoxCont = Thisform.cTextBoxCont + This.Value

The GotFocus event gets it:

This.Value = Thisform.cTextBoxCont


Obviously you need to clear the prop down at some point (next record?)
