Hi David,

This problem disappeared when I cleared the content of ControlSource (which was a memo field).

Do you have any thoughts on this.

Thank you,
Ali

>>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:
