Entering a negative number into a textbox

[Wayne]

There is probably a simple solution to this but:

I have a textbox that is bound to a number field in a table. The field
type is "double". If I enter a negative value directly into the table
it accepts it.

However if I try to enter a negative number into the bound textbox by
entering say, - 50, it won't. The only way that I can make the textbox
accept a negative is to hold the minus key on my keyboard down until
the number spins back to the desired value.

I tried experimenting with an unbound textbox and it accepts "- 50" OK.
I'm obviously missing something here.

Any help is appreciated.

I didn't investigate deeply, but did you try to insert "-50" instead of "-
50" (avoiding the space)?
