Delete, Backspace and both left and right arrow keys work for me in the Entry 
Window. I did what you wrote about changing 1240 to 1340 and it worked fine.
Can't think of what the issue might be.
Did you try opening a text editor like Notepad and seeing if those keys work 
properly?

Don got me thinking, so I reopened the CQWPX file and started playing.   
It appears that the only key you can (should) use for editing is the 
BACKSPACE key.    I could be wrong.  What I was doing during the WPX to edit

Say I copied:

SN 1240 and it s/b

SN 1340  I was using the LEFT ARROW to backup to delete 2 and type 3.

It appears that WL or the WPX contest module does not like those keystrokes.

It appears you need to BACKSPACE the 0, 4, 2 and then type the correction


Any other ideas that I am missing?
