Hi Rick ---

I tested the heck out of this. I could get the text editor to run inside a window I had defined with DEFINE WINDOW but could not get it to run inside a VFP form....which is necessary to define the right properties to do what you're looking for.....

Have you considered looking into an ActiveX control, assuming one exists, that you could plant inside a Form class?
