Hi David

I got a problem with both of the solutions. I pressed enter, then I wrote a word (let say: Canada), and then pressed spacebar (like 3 times) and then pressed Backspace to get to the word (so 3 times again) that I wrote. Now the cursor is right after the word, but if I run the following command:

GeologyForm.descript.SelText = "Ali"

My name would be written one or two characters behind the world(so it would be either CanaAlida or CanadAlia). It should have written right after the word( I mean CanadaAli).

Would you please advise me that how may I correct this. I am using VFP 6.

Thank you,
Ali
