>If I hold down the backspace key, after the current text box's value is erased control passes to prior text boxes in the tab order and erases their values also. Is there a property that allows me to constrain the backspace action to just the current control? Thanks.

See How to prevent BackSpace key in a TextBox from moving a cursor to the previous control FAQ #28161

Funny, I thought I saw it also on Sergey's website, but it's not there.
