Not sure about the 127 key, I think I got this code elsewhere and that was already in it... I commented it out and I still have the same problem.

In my case the textbox is in a column of a grid. I am also using a buffered table as the record source, with the underlying table not yet updated, as I want to check whether the user *really* wants a new record (if the textbox is blank, I TABLEREVERT() on LOSTFOCUS)

In fact, the behaviour seems to change if I commit changes to the table before I enter the offending textbox.

>I is not happening to me. Justr create a simple form with text box & command button. Paste Your code in Keypress event of the TextBox & change Filename & Order To point to one of my files. Everything is OK: no Change of Focus during keypres. BTW what is the 127 key?
