Hi, Marco,
My goal, years ago when writing a non-IBO component like this, was Quicken /
Quickbooks compatibility because several of my users use both. My goal this
time was compatibility with my old component - my users aren't worried about
TIB_Date compatibility.

However, the code in my component is extremely simple with regard to keystroke
handling - just a case statement on characters. Anyone (including me, I
suppose) could replace my key usage with TIB_Date usage.
