>Hello everybody-
>A quick question for the sages. How can I best trap the backspace key in a textbox so that after the text is fully deleted the textbox does not lose the focus? I only want the focus to move to the previous control by using the mouse or shift-tab.

In the KeyPress event:

IF nKeycode = 127 && backspace
*   Do whatever
    NODEFAULT
ENDIF
