I've had to leave for a couple of days (mandatory appearance at a mother-in-law weekend event)...but I took my computer so all was not a loss. I've run into several items 1. I'm trapping all keystrokes now to handle but when the 'esc' or 'return' key is pressed, i receive the keystroke but windows 'beeps'. Why is this and how to get rid of it? (on my office computer it 'clicks a sound' and on my win2000me laptop i get a loud 'bell') 2. Are there any windows editText data types like date, numeric etc where windows will edit or use a print mask to display what is typed. (i.e. I would like to type in for a date 80601 and have displayed 8/06/01, for $ amounts to always display 5.5 as 5.50) 3. If I am in data entry mode on the screen and change to another windows task and then return to the screen, windows starts the data entry at the beginning of the fields, not where I left off. Why is this and do I have to know I was switched out and set the focus when I return? ...george
