Hi Paul,

Here's what I've done in a similar situation:

1. set the form's keypreview property to .t.
2. in form's keypress method check that keycode= 4 and that the thisform.activecontrol.name= .
3. (here I'm less sure, but you might try it) thisform.activecontrole.value= thisform.activecontrol.value+' '+dtoc(date()).

HTH,

Marc
