Doesn´t work for me. furthermore, i saw the problem using a wizard wich has all the controlsource properties set to a field in a file, numeric and non numeric. The same result. in order to modify the click event, i would have to do it on all the fields of my proyect, isn't there a better solution?

Sorry it didn't help. I've got all my TextBoxes set to SelectOnEntry, so the numeric ones work like they should. Adding the Click event code in all TextBoxes in the project will be a big PITA one time, but it's the best solution I can come up with. It may be less of a PITA if you make a program loop which scans FRXs as tables, looking for TextBox BaseClasses and writing the code into their Click events. (On a test copy at least at first, of course, then backing up the live copy before doing it there.)

I was off track with the numeric ControlSource. That makes the TextBox behave better in some other ways, but you need SelectOnEntry to fix your problem.

Good luck,
Rich.
