--part1_6a.26e9a251.2ac80b2f_boundary Hi All, Using Win32lib I have a form allowing the user to enter data. What I am trying to achieve is that when a user saves the record and then tabs to a text box to enter data for the next record, I want my program to search the test currently in the box and is it finds a "." period it should highlight any text from thispoint onwards. This way if a user is entering a list of doors as follows entry should be much faster and easier as they only need to type whatever preceeds the period once. D1 Gosford Hospital.

Surgery Thanks Tony Steward --part1_6a.26e9a251.2ac80b2f_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">Hi All,<BR> Using Win32lib I have a form allowing the user to enter data.
