ok - so reset will set the timer back to whatever the timer value was last set to. and once it gets reset - the timer will immediately start counting down again ?

to do with the textbox - i was just going to post this ... the default AcceptsReturn property will be TRUE. The reason i did that is because (imho) more folk will want a textbox that accepts return - than will have default buttons defined on forms. Both scenarios are totally logical ... but default buttons tend to be found more on Dialog Boxes than on main forms - so I made that call. To you all it means is that you will have to set AcceptsReturn to FALSE.

[edit]

Hang on - let me check dotnet to see what the default is for a textbox ... one sec ...
