Sami: It's hard to see how this identical functionality could be implemented in Windows, given that the user could easily switch away from your form field before hitting ENTER -- in which case the rest of the playback would happen in some other field entirely (or even after you left the form). Have you thought about replacing it with a button (with a shortcut, naturally, so the user could still access it with a keystroke). You could write a little EEP that would collect the information with DIALOG boxes, form the final string, and play it (or pass it via a variable) back to the field. If you do this kind of thing a lot, you could write some generalized code that would take a string with fillins, parse out the values needed, prompt for them, and return the final string. Something you would use like: RUN BldString USING 'Please be aware that your price reflects a discount of <<Enter discount percent>> percent.' SET VAR vMyString = vBldString_Result CLEAR VAR vBldString% Finally, you could move that functionality into a DLL which could provide a really slick interface in which, for instance, the user would see the string with the replacement points highlighted, and could tab among the replacement strings altering the text as necessary. -- Larry ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/
