Thanks Aashish,

I redefined the menu items for Cut and Copy. And it worked for me.

Cheers,
Ali

>>I want to replace the procedures for copy (Ctrl-C) and cut (Ctrl-X) with my own routines. Is there any way that I can do that? I want to use my routines when the user presses those keys or clicks corresponding menu items on Edit of main menu. This only happens if the user opens a certain form. Otherwise, they (copy and cut) should do the normal procedure.
