You can set the cursor at the end (after last char) of a field with:

...
   select after text of fld "abc"
...

?????
You mean if you type "merde" in the field will appear "m8e8r8d8e8"?

Sorry, never seen this before...

Are you sure there is no other front or backsript that could cause this 
VERY strange phenomenon?

> Thanks, Hershel
