Backspacing

[goatsaregreat]

Is there anyway to backspace in a text box without using the keyboard? Actually, I know there is a way, I just can't think of it. I need a mouse interface, no keyboard work. I have a number pad set up using command buttons and all the numbers work fine, but the backspace button is driving me nuts. Thanks for your help.

Backspace (not left arrow)

Private Sub cmdBackSpace_Click()
    ' if there is highlighted text, backspace just
    ' deletes the highlighted text 
    if txt.SelLength > 0 then
        txt.SelText = ""
    else
        ' else it
        ' deletes the prevuious character. 
        if txt.SelStart > 0 
            txt.SelStart = txt.SelStart - 1
            txt.SelLength = 1
            txt.SelText = ""
        End if
    End if
End Sub
