Are you saying that when they type in "3/4" they want to see it in that Alt format i.e. small and fancy looking? If so, would it be that tough to put code in the VALID event to parse the string, find things like "1/4", "1/2", "3/4" or whatever you want and then STRTRAN with the ALT sequence? Or is it that the textbox itself, given the font you are using for it, won't display it the way you want?
