Hi Ken,

I'm afraid you misunderstood me, because I've not started a new thread and continued here.

My problem is not restrict input to 6 lines. I want that my users type 5 digits in each line, like
11111
22222
33333
44444,
etc.

If they type :AAAAA - it's a bad input or if they type 1111 - it's also a bad input, because I want to use this editbox for zipcodes, so it must be 5 digits.

Now I hope you understand my problem.

I discuss this in other day and Ed Pikman advised to use Grid instead of EditBox. But this approach requeres lot of modifications in my current, and I was trying to avoid unnecessary complexity. I already make an addition in VFP7 wish list about InputMask for editbox. Since now we haven't this property, I should do some checking in Valid method, right?
Or it could be KeyPress?

Anyway, your ideas are greatly appreciated. Right now I decided just not to check, but this is still in my mind...
