>Hi folks - two things...

>1) When the user reaches the maximum number of characters in a textbox I would like the cursor to remain in the textbox rather than jumping to the next one allowing the user to carry on typing regardless. Is there any easy way to prevent this - I have experimented with the Interactive Change and Maxlength property but have not had any success.

Check out SET CONFIRM. You can add this to the GotFocus of the textbox in question and reset it in the LostFocus (if you don't want the same behavior for all textboxes).

>2) When I have an numeric type field, how do I place the cursor a few spaces to the left so that the user can easily enter more than single digit numbers?

You could use the SelectOnEntry property to handle this. If you need the same behavior when the user mouse clicks into the textbox, check out Message#332384.
