. . . . and then there's the trailing continuation character, i.e. the extra "+" at the end of a command that shouldn't be there.
As fastidious as we try to be the brain/finger/keyboard connection sometimes trips us up.

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!
