Ken, the field is a plain scrolling field with a vertical scroll bar. The following Basic Properties are checked:
Visible, Don't wrap, Opaque, Focusable, Show border (Border width 2), Hilites: Autohilite text Text is Courier 12 point left justified The field displays the contents of a file selected from a list field. This list is refreshed (because files are being added to the storage folder at random intervals) with the following button script: on mouseUp getFiles - checks the contents of the storage folder and puts the list in the list field send mouseUp to me in 60 seconds - so I click the button once and it runs all day :) end mouseUp Could this activity be causing the text to be deselected? Is there a better way to time a repeating task to allow for normal stack operation? Appreciate the great help! joe.
