>When typing a new value, such as 1, into a blank text box that has an input mask like 9,999,999, an extra zero is added and the value becomes 10 instead 1. The extra zero only appears if I press TAB. When I press ENTER no extra zero appears.

My solution for the problem was to remove the commas from .InputMask in textbox.gotfocus(), and restore it in .lostfocus(). I have added a .SavePicture property for that. It was back then in VFP5, and I actually kept it since - but then, it's a part of a framework which is not in use anymore, so I can't really say whether it solves the problem in VFP8, or whether the problem is still there at all. May work for you. Here's the code:

PROCEDURE GotFocus
	With This
		If "9,9" $ this.inputmask
		   .SavePicture=.InputMask
		   .selectonentry=.t.
		   .InputMask=Chrt(.InputMask, ",", "")
		   .refresh
		endif
	EndWith
ENDPROC


PROCEDURE LostFocus
	With This
		If !empty(.SavePicture)
		   .InputMask=.SavePicture
		   .savepicture=""
		   .refresh
		endif
	EndWith
ENDPROC
