OK...The dummy is having problems again....I use the SETSELECT WINDOW(_EFTextLen),WINDOW(_EFTextLen) in LOTS of code for LOTS of windows with no problems...even for other code for this window...however, I set up this set the other day and it does not seem to work here..The field that I put something into seems to be highlighted (should not be), if I start typing it starts at the 0 point and erases the EDIT$ stuff. At first when it hits...the | does show up at the right side but does not flash/beep.
