You should use the KEYPRESS event, not the WHEN.

Subject: Inserting a date

Hi folk

In a new system I'm developing, I have a form with provision for a large edit box When a person is typing in this box, I want them to be able to insert a date at the point where the cursor is.

So, in the *when* procedure, I have it where if the person presses F5, it inserts the date.

The problem is, it inserts the date at the beginning of the Edit box instead of where the cursor is. Can someone help me out with this ?
