Charlie,
Add the following code to the rtf.KeyDown() event:

*** ActiveX Control Event ***
LPARAMETERS keycode, shift

IF KeyCode = 9
    *-- suppress TAB key (similar to VFP's NODEFAULT)
    KeyCode = 0
    *-- manually insert a TAB character
    This.SelText = CHR(9)
ENDIF

>Hi:

>With the RTF control, you have to hit CRTL+TAB to insert a tab in the current document. Hitting TAB alone moves the focus to the next object and does not insert a tab. Since this is unfamiliar to people, I would like it work as expected. Is there any way to override this behavoir? I tried setting all tab stops to .F., but that didn't work.
