Jim,

Still not working when the code is in the InteractiveChange method.

Also, I found further problems with SelStart. Your suggestion of using the form property nSelStart to save the current insertion point works fine, until I insert text into the textbox - then it resets SelStart to zero.

I found a MS Knowledgebase item in a similar vein using a search keyword of 'SelStart' (Q131095). It talks about the NODEFAULT keyword and insertion of text but doesn't appear to help me.
