That did half the trick. Thank you.

It appears that the TIB_SpinEditEnh does not trigger events as expected. I
want to run a procedure every time the number is changed but:
- using the dataset.OnDataChange only triggers when the user leaves the
control and has finished all changes
- the mouse click appears to be only tied to the text box and triggers when
the user enters the box, not when they are pushing the arrows
- the keyboard event doesn't trigger on each change but only when they are
leaving(?)

Have I used the wrong control or am I expecting too much?

TIA
Shane
