Emmitt, Cool!. I just did a numeric touch keyboard using the same approach. How did you handle the things like the [Enter] key and holding the [Shift] key for capitalization?
The easy approach is to find the way to lauch the touch keyboard (which I am looking into).

For both we are using thin-client devices with touch screens; one is RF, the other is wired, but that's not important. In one case the thin client itself has a built-in facility that puts a keyboard on the bottom of the screen where the user can touch the input. In the other case we built an on-screen keyboard in a separate form that is launched whenever the user touches a button. (It is handled this way because a scanner might be used for the field input.) You could, though, simply have your on-entry eep load the keyboard form. The keyboard form is nothing more than a bunch of rectangle shapes arranged in a QWERTY layout with "on click" eeps to add the appropriate letter to a string variable.

The clients want something they have on a different system. Here's what it does: A lot of items are check boxes, so that will be easy, but some fields need to be text entry, like names. An app they are using brings up a box where they print letters and this converts like OCR to fill in the field. Does anyone have any experience with this? How do I get this text entry box to come up - what software, and how do I attach this to an R:base field? Sounds like an add-on product for Access or whatever, do we have something like this for R:Base? Robert M.
