You're welcome.

*-- KeyPress Method
LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
If nKeyCode=127 and oEnv.oSettings.BackSpaceBehavior = 0 and ;
  This.SelLength = 0 And ;
  This.SelStart = iif(ltrim(This.InputMask) = "(", 1, 0)
  
  NoDefault
EndIf

I couldn't resist modifying the code:) Net result is same (set exact off - default).
At least we had a drink together with you and Jim, I think you won't get angry with me doing it:)
