Thanks very much for the detailed reply.

I did have K! in there, and reomoving that gets me a little closer. Unfortunately, no matter where the cursor is positioned when you type the ^, it puts the cent sign and cursor at the beginning of the string. The same is true for your code. Were you running it under VFP8? I only have the VFP9 beta on this machine, so I can't check.



>do you have anything in the textbox's format and/or inputmask properties? I ask, because the below code works fine but if I change the format to K then of course it does as you say yours does in testing:
