I use the following on the keypress event of the editbox for example:

  ' Only allow numeric values
  if ((47 < KEY) AND (KEY < 58)) then
    ' Numeric value entered
  else
    KEY = 0
  end if

Hope this helps!

To also allow for a decimal point (i.e. to allow float type entries), you can amend the code as follows:

' Only allow numeric values and decimal point
if ((47 < KEY) AND (KEY < 58)) or (KEY = 46)then
' Numeric value or decimal point entered
else
KEY = 0
end if

Phone fields you actually want to
1. Trim
2. Truncate to 32 characters
3. Check for a + in the first field.....then leave the rest of the chacters (including Blanks) as is
4. Wipe out all non numerics up to an 'x' or 'X' or up to 10 numeric characters...and ignore the rest of that.

+011 649 548 237 '''leave as is, let them call Auckland any time they want
(630) 561.4444 becomes "6305614444"

(630) 561.4444 X2310 becomes "6305614444 x2310"

etc.

The + and - is relatively easy to do. Put the following line on your keypress event:

MsgBox KEY

Then type in the + and - characters to see what their key is, and allow these in addition to the ones already allowed.

However, when it comes to the scenario you created above, this becomes something quite different and would better be handled in the Validate event rather than the keypress.

Correct, we've done this often in the past (scripted it out).

Rene's question was about Numerics only.....but the field was a Phone field.....

so that's why I put the additional stuff into it....

IMHO Rene should script this, not just search for numerics from 0-9 and +,.,- etc.
