>I need to make sure that there are two slashes only in a textbox value. It usually would start with only 1 slash, so it would be increased to two, but over time it was replacing the doubles with 4, etc. This code in the LostFocus seems to work, but I know it's not the best way. Any ideas? Thanks!

That's a tough one from the first glance. I would probably go with regular expressions, but I'm not sure it's easy to create a pattern.

Your original code is easy to break with

ABC\\DEFG

You need to do it in a loop...
