(sound of loose memory chips being banged back into place) As I recall, you'll have to do this in the AFTER ROW clause, not the BEFORE ROW clause. By the time you hit BEFORE ROW, it's too late to keep them on the current row -- they're already in the new row. In the AFTER ROW, test to see if the user was in the last row of the array, and also whether the last keystroke was a DOWN arrow or RETURN. If so, then do a NEXT FIELD <something> to keep them on the same line. June (who hasn't quite lost ALL her marbles yet) -- june_t@hotmail.com Lost in the wilds of Palo Alto, living on Plain M&M's
