Jim,

The VFP grid is not really a collection of cell objects. You could simulate something along the lines of click a cell to get begin row, and begin column, then a second click on another cell would capture end row, end column which you can then use to stuff the _cliptext with the information.

But doing something like a mousedown and drag over the selected range is going to be a real PITA with the native VFP grid.

>Thanks for your suggestion. You did not try to do this with the VFP Grid control. Could you explain why? I find the VFP grid control to be quite complicated, and the documentation sketchy and dispersed. Makes it quite difficult to learn, and very time-consuming to master.
