I like the approach used by QuickBooks where pressing a mathematical operator in a numeric field brings up a mini worksheet where one can do math on the value in the field. I'm working a similar implementation for time entry. A text box overlays a field used for time entry when a plus or minus operator is pressed in that field. The text box expands to display a separate line for each value added or subtracted from the original value and serves as a mini worksheet. When the entry is complete and the user presses the "Enter" key, The text box is eliminated and the result of the math on the worksheet is entered in the original text field. I need to force all entry into the worksheet until it is complete so that program can finish the calculation and close the worksheet. I think setting the valid as always false until an "Enter" is pressed will give the desired result. Can someone enlighten me about how to set the Valid function on a programmatically created text box? Suggest a better approach? Thanks in advance, Joe Yoder
