Hi Daniel,
You can achieve this effect by putting a transparent shape in front of the textbox. Put code in the shape's click event to set focus to the textbox (thisform.text1.setfocus).
>that's what i was afraid of. But how do i stop it. I might be able to trap the click event and just not do dodefault the first time the click is called.
