Hi David,

I created a new form with an edit box and a command button. Command button did:

ThisForm.Edit1.Seltext = “Whatever”

I wrote some words in the edit box. Then, I went between them and pressed enter a few times. Then, I pressed the command button. So far every thing was fine, but when I pressed enter next to the “Whatever” and then pressed the command button, “Whatever” inserted two characters after the word in the next line after it. For example, if I had “Nextline” in the line after that, it became: “NeWhateverxtline”. I did not have any code in that form.

Thanks for the time you put on this,
Ali
