Steve,

I agree with you. I have played with Chris' actual code for a while now, and have discovered that it is the setfocus call in the lostfocus that is causing this problem. I haven't found anything in the KB or wikis that document this. I wonder what the smallest demonstrable code is.

Perhaps antoher rainy day project.

Chris,

I would go by Steve's recommendation. There may be some funky bit of code that would make the whole thing work, but it would be a kludge at best. On a lighter note, I was very impressed with your UI design. Kudos.
