Thanks, Razzak, and great tools which we've used in our apps. However, in this case, we preload some text into the DB Edit object as a template for data entry. The user then places the cursor within the text string and plug in some values to overwrite a portion of the template, but, I'm unable to set overwrite on and they often forget to press the insert key, hence their annoyance and my question.

Similar to >capslock or numlock, an application property? Brad, A few options to achieve your goal using the DB or Variable Control PROPERTY commands: 01. PROPERTY <Component ID> AUTOSELECT 'TRUE' Determines whether all the text in the DB or Variable Edit Control is automatically selected when the control gets focus. 02. PROPERTY <Component ID> FIRSTCHAR 'TRUE' Specifies whether the cursor will appear in the DB or Variable component starting position. 03. PROPERTY <Component ID> LASTCHAR 'TRUE' Specifies whether the cursor will appear in the DB or Variable component ending position. Hope that helps!
