Bonnie,
Thanks for the reply (I'll have to test it before I can give you stars).
I am sure that the example you posted will work for me (after slight modification), but I will not have time to test this until tonight.
So you don't have this type of code already in place in your TextBox subclass? That must mean that you do not use the accept button form property, is that correct? An if yes why not? (yeah I am very nosey)
Semper ubi sub ubi.
