Just a quick idea: Could you set the value of the text box to "KA" and the selstart to 3?

>I want to have a prefix "KA" in a character textbox to let user finish remaing part like "KA000001" etc...Where "KA" should be readonly.
>So I set the inputmask to this textbox as "KAXXXXXX",Unfortunately,"A" was a reserved word for VFP inputmask for alphabetic characters only.So the textbox always show "K000001","A" was invisible.
