I'm trying to do a custom Text input routine, the Shift/Control/Arrows have a seperate function, I can't think of an easy way to check for BackSpace.

Thanks for any help.

Use the backspace's ASCII value. Here's a table of all ASCII values: [url]www.asciitable.com[/url]

read your key pressed into a string, and then use asc(a$) where a$ is your string to get its ascii value. The ascii value of backspace is 8.

Thanks.

I thought ENTRY$()would just return Text/Numbers.

Cheers,
