Calvin,

>One of the most frustrating things about leaving the protected environment of VFP to me is controlling user input in text boxes. Can anyone please tell me how to duplicate VFP's input mask of 999999.99 which would allow the user to input only numbers up to a max of 999999.99 and would not require specific placement of a decimal. Thanks!

Have you checked out the MaskedTextBox (sounds like a former Lone Ranger sidekick <s>). Here's a link for you:
