Hi Chuck,

As long as it works, is it so important to know why/how? <vbg> It is not necessary to pass the parameters back in, they are there already, to put it that way.

I use similar code frequently, for instance to change a comma into a decimal point, I do the following:

IF CHR(nKeyCode)=','
  NODEFAULT 
  nKeyCode=ASC('.')
  DODEFAULT()
ENDIF

I always put this code first in the keypress event, I think that is important.
