BTW....I forgot to mention that I control the Adobe AIR application and can alter it. This is all about a comments field in that application and I suppose one solution would be to ensure that my special list delimiter characters and # are kept out of the comments and this whole issue goes away ;-)
....but if there is a workable solution I always prefer to not restrict user entry in that way. Cheers *Bryan Stevenson*B.Comm.
