[Quoted] Dear Clive,

         This sounds very similar to a problem I had in Developer Forms 6: The cursor would jump back to the beginning of the field; it seemed to happen
when the space bar was pressed. I suspected, a the time, that the "data entry" context,
(cursor position) was not saved on a timer interrupt. In any case, if you have a clock
or timer, try removing it.

Good luck,
Mike Rainville
