>I normally keep my numerics right justified, but playing for a few minutes shows the same problem you've had. If the length of the bound value is constent eg 5,2 (xx.xx), you can use the InputMask property using 9s (eg 99.99). Unfortunately, if not constant, any extra 9s (in InputMask) show the same behavior, while too few 9s limit your input. Using an InputMask of =replicate("9", transform(< nValue >)) works as long as you don't type a longer value... although you may be able to modify the InputMask property in the textboxes InteractiveChange event

Thanks for expounding on that, Michael.
