Hi Benoit, I find the problem in my code - so it is at my end - whatever 
changes you made obviously precipitated it. The text box on the form not firing 
was embedded in a form which itself was embedded in anther form and I'd some 
time ago been tinkering with the form_key_press to detect ctrl key 
combinations and I had a stop event in there which caused the grief.

I've upgraded to the latest svn.
