Just expounding on my above suggestion... you'll wanna set the Skip for the paste menu option to check for whether _cliptext is empty, whether the current control that has focus is something you can paste in and is not readonly or disabled (you may even want to check if the contents of the clipboard is text or not). This way your paste menu option will enable and disable properly. When the user selects the paste menu option you have created you can process the contents of _cliptext however you want prior to pasting the clipboard contents.

>If you're talking about getting ahold of the clipboard contents before the actual paste occurs then you will need to make your own paste menu option under the Edit menu. I'm assuming here that this is for an application where you have an MPR/MPX already created.
