How did I miss that little piece of info, mentioned right in the document PDF now that I look back at it! You're right, while in a field, you press Ctrl-Alt-K and the keyboard comes up and fills in the field. I can press [enter] to go to the next field and use the keyboard again. The keyboard stays up until you close it.

Works fine working at the R> prompt. I can also build a form with a DBEdit on it, have an "on enter eep" with PROPERTY ROSK SHOW TRUE , and it does bring up the keyboard, I can type on it, and it puts the output into the field. However, what if I didn't want it to come up every time? I put a right-click EEP on the field to show it (although it seems to take 2 right-clicks to bring it up, build 052013), but it does not put the value in the field. I was thinking I could put a bit button with a hot-key Alt-K to "bring up keyboard", and put the show on that button. I land in a field, press Alt-K, I get the keyboard, but the output isn't put into the field I'm on. I suppose in theory you could pass in the componentID of your field to the button, and if you could somehow trap the keyboard results and use property to put it back into the field, but I don't think that's possible. Is anyone using this real world and tell me how you use it? Karen
