Re: PC code and Mac code different?

["Lennox Jacob" <lenpartico at hotmail dot com>]

Hi Terry,
I think this is it
If (asc(Key) > 31 and asc(Key )< 48) or (asc(Key )> 57) then
Beep
Return true
end if

space (32) is not accepted but the other nonprintables from (0-31) and 
numbers 0 to 9 (47 to 58) are.
Got it.
It works.
Thanks again.
Lennox.
