Did you try a max length of 60? That would make more sense. You shouldn't have to lose the ability to enter the last character.

Got several suggestions and tried many combos of PROPERTY commands. This morning I used Object Inspector to change the field's MaxLength to 59 and... success with no EEPs. Type all you want and once the 59th character is hit the computer beeps and the cursor stays in the TEXT(60) field. Hit TAB or ENTER and the cursor moves to the next field as expected. Too simple. I tend to have users use the mouse to move around a screen so they can go anywhere in any order, so I might eventually turn the TAB/ENTER options off for TEXT fields. So far this simple change works. The R:Base learning curve/options just keeps rolling. Tom Frederick President/CEO Elm City Center 1314 W Walnut Jacksonville, IL 62650 W- 217-245-9504 F - 217-245-2350 E - [email protected]
