Are my textboxes subclassed - you bet. But not all my fields are text boxes tho all are subclassed. My concern was having to put code in every field but I didn't think about setting a "first" and "last" as form properties and noting it that way. It allows me to set it once and change it (if needed) without dealing with each field. Great! Now, if I can figure out how to work with the Controls code, I'll be on my way<g>. Thanks.
