Hi, i know this is in the wrong forum, but there doesn't seem to be an embedded visual basic forum. I have created a virtual keypad. In VB6 the code for the backspace button works - Text1.Text = Left$(Text1.Text, Len(Text1.Text) - 1). When i transfer this to Embedded VB3, it will not allow the '$' character. If you remove this in VB6, the code still works, but when transfered to Embedded VB3 it says "object not a collection". This is driving me crazy, can anyone tell me how to do this?

Try using
text1.text = mid(text1.text,1,len(text1.text)-1)
This may work
This function goes from the indicated starting position for the indicated number of characters.
Mid(object,start,[length])

actually that is
Mid(string,start,[length])
and this is useful for getting the middle part of any string or the last part... If length is greater than the number of characters from start to the end of the string then it just gets the rest of the string.
I hope this helps.
