Andrew - It is a quantity field recording the number of units which may be hours or other items. I thought about popping up a separate form but it seems like overkill as I want to minimize the area of the screen overlaid by the control. Also it seems a lot easier to place a control than to figure out how to make a form come up exactly where I want it and to have it grow as needed at run time. I really like the QuickBooks approach. It might make sense to use a grid or an array of TextBoxes instead of an EditBox when I finally figure out which approach to take.
