Thanks folks for the input. Actually I found a different workaround. My sample was based on the Director-online article: http://www.director-online.com/buildArticle.php?id=209 (issue with social security number). The snip of code filters first 3 chars and sticks the dash. Here I was stumbled with how to manipulate the flashing cursor so that to place it after the dash. I changed the sample a bit (namely broke it up into 3 fields) and case statemented it for input. It turned out, that if you set a field to non editable it'll automatically tab to next one alike (if any). That did my trick. If you are interested in what I was doing, here is the source ("Social" section): http://www.peb965.cv.ua/list_questions/dir/extra_spaces.dir Cheers peb965 [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
