Hi Alan,

It's easy to make RTF control read only. I'm not sure how to acomplish the copy part, though.

WITH Thisform.oRtf.OBJECT
  .SelStart = 0
  .SelLength = LEN(.TextRTF)
  .SelProtected = .T.
  ...
ENDWITH

>I have a RTF olecontrol (richtext.richtextctrl.1) bound to a memo field and which is disabled when the form is in view (ie. non-edit) mode. Users have requested to be able to copy+paste data from one memo field to another, without having to place the form in edit mode first (hence setting olecontrol.enabled =.T.). At present the user cannot enter the RTF control when it is disabled.
