>can't you just set the AutoShift attribute of the field? (i don't use >Constructor, maybe only PilRC can do that??). what am i missing? nope- autoshift only works when you tap in a field; I have already entered the field, and set the selection programaticcally, and the OS doesn't set the shift based on autoshift in that way. Sorry to be unclear, but I just don't think it works. ALan
