Geoff,
1 ) How can I use your currency edit mode set in the following control for a
IB_editEnh1 control. I've tried setting IB_EditEnh1.SetEditMaskEx
('::NM::!\$-999],999],990!.00;0;0;0') but get weird results.

object EditEnh1: TEditEnh
Left = 592
Top = 364
Width = 121
Height = 21
Text = '0.00'
TabOrder = 10
EditMaskEx = '::NM::!\$-999],999],990!.00;0;0;0'
end

TIA
John
