Thanks Ken,

The routines work just fine but my requirement is slightly different. Maybe, I
should have mentioned "win32lib" and EditText-type control.

What I am looking for is a control that restricts user input to + or -, numeric
digits, and a decimal point. My searches in the Archives and EUforum keep coming
up with post-entry checks, but it would be pretty undignified if the user can
(accidentally) enter alpha characters into a textbox for currency input. My
attempts to monitor/control keyboard input with w32Change keep resulting in "the
choicest abuses" by ex.err as well as a couple of "illegal function" reprimands
by Windows 98SE.

Isn't there something along the lines of ES_NUMBER?
