Jon, Bad entry didn't kill AXIS, I just closed the app and reopened it as a test. You are correct the text box appears to evaluate each entry so non numeric characters evaluate to an error. I noted tonight that if I typed in a space I got the error, I then typed a zero and the form evaluated the entry as a numeric of value zero. So I last night there must have been some character left in the text box which caused the error, I think that, as stated earlier, using the end key and backspace key is the way to clear things. Regards Andy

So, when you are in the middle of wiping out an old number and putting in a new one, you could have something that has more than one decimal point, a space between digits, a minus sign in the middle, whatever, that can't be interpreted as a valid number. Glad that fixed it, Chris and Jeff write pretty bulletproof code, so I would have been surprised that a bad entry would actually kill Axis.
