>You should be using the interactivechange event, not the valid event. This way the textbox will refresh for mouseclicks and for keypresses.

Erik,
I'm attaching this to your message "because it's there", not because you're wrong. Jim Booth has suggested that we use the WHEN even, not the InteractiveChange event. Does anyone have reasons for or against each method? I've always used the InteractiveChange successfully, but I wonder if I'm missing something?
