Thanks Nathan. That helps some, although I am already validating some fields in this way. What I am really interested in, and maybe nobody here has done this, is using editMasks and displayMasks to preformat the fields in the first place (ie. the spaces in the binary formatted data or the periods in the IPAddress). I an new to these ideas (they are Borland methods) and not sure how to implement them. I was hoping that someone here had done it in a different way. I don't want the end-user to have to type the periods or spaces in the fields. And if they do all they end up getting is the cursor placed on the next element that they can edit in the field.
thanks again...
