Hilmar I just tested again and works for me heres what I've tested, I've created a form put an textbox in it bound to a table with a numeric field, run that form an voila works do you have any more code running??

>>Hilmar I've tested this and works have you put the CLEAR the exact line in the GotFocus?

ON KEY LABEL '.' KEYBOARD ',' CLEAR

>>>>LostFocus Event of the textbox
>>>>

ON KEY LABEL '.'

>>>>This will work and solve your problem.
>>>
>>>... KEYBOARD "," converts periods to commas, alright. The problem is that the cursor jumps to the beginning of the textbox!
