I know about that virtual keyboard. I use it on my new EXOPC tablet running Windows7. Its fine to stick to standards, however, I tend to break standards when it doesn't suit the needs. I created my own SIMPLE keyboard in a VFP form because the Windows virtual keyboard was overkill. The amount of time I spent creating the VFP keyboard was probably less time invested than trying to make the Windows one work from VFP (although I didn't even try since, as I'd stated, it was not suitable).

Good luck.
