I fixed this problem by putting
THIS.SETFOCUS()
in the click method.

>I don't think VFP5 handles numeric values in textboxes incorrrectly, just not necessarily the way we might want it to. Ther problem has to do with the value not being selected when the user starts typing. It usually show up if the mouse is us3ed to get to the textbox. With a tab ito the textbox the SelectOnEntry property will contrl the selection adn any typing would overwrite the current value.

>But using the mouse causes the insertion point to occur exactly where the mouse was clicked, this is by design because it allows the user to click right on an error and fix it easily, rather than typing the entire value again. The behavior is fine for character values, adn is even desirable. However, for numeric values it shows the behavior stated in the original question in this thread, that is the digits typed are concantenated to the existing value.
