Hi Paul

I am having a great time with this beta.
I have picked up a lot of knowledge and moved way past my old level of skill.
All thanks to everyone on this forum.

Something I noticed, perhaps its intentional.
The TEXTBOX selected text (where it highlights the text already in there) works on a Shift-tab from the following control backwards, but if I loop with tab around the controls on the form it does not highlight the text.

Is nothing major not important, I was wondering if this should be reported or if this is as it should be?

Regards, Peter

Sounds to me like when the focus leaves your last textbox and then it tries to set focus to some other control that you are not aware of prior to returning to your first control.

Check your project to see what controls have their TabStop property set to True and then set those to False for controls where you do not want the TAB to set the focus.

I can review your project if you wish to see where the focus is being lost.
