I was just about to say the same thing, Javier! I often first write the code to access the CompID, then I copy and paste to put the actual CompID into the control. The copy includes the trialing space and I have to remember to erase it!

I have been bitten by this before and now religiously check to ensure there is no trailing blank.

The eep was firing, but the format mask was not changing. They very properly chastised me politely for wasting their time when the problem was that I had assigned a component ID with a trailing space. The eep did not work because 'cSponsorZip' is not the same as 'cSponsorZip ' I am now going over every component id in every form and making sure I have no trailing spaces. Thanks to RDCC staff - they are great people, and I am ashamed that I did not identify the simplest problem. Albert, That's a killer trying to track down, isn't it! Bill
