Is there a way to easily set textboxes to only allow numeric entry and also
have some sort of range checking options in the properties.

It seems this should be something that should be standard in the package?

Or do I need a third party tool?

Thanks for any advice

The maxlength property of the control allows you to specify the maximum
number of characters to accept. If you only want to accept numeric values, I
would suggest setting up a routine that filters out non-numeric characters
in the <textbox name>_Change sub. This is the best way I know to do it.

Nope.. as Sean said... you'll need to code a routine to do it.

At last estimate, there were several gazillion different
numeric controls on the market.  If you can manage to buy
something, I recommend the Component one TDBNumeric and
Numeric Lite.  They  have just about every property you
could think of, including caption , ranges, formats and
fonts for the data and for the caption.  Also, built in
Spinners and dropdown.
You also get a standard set of controls which are all
good. Text, masked edit, calendar, and a few others which
I forgot.
Good luck,
Walter

numeric entry and also

Well.. all but the masked edit anyway. That's a piece of xxxx.

btw... how come your newsreader doesn't place "Re: " in front of the subject
line. Your replies look like questions until we read them. If possible, set
your newsreader to add the "Re: "
