>>>Here's a weird one. I have several edit boxes where this happens. I click in the box, press Ctrl-V to paste some text. The text appears in the box just fine. Then I leave the Edit box with the tab key or the mouse and the pasted text disappears. It doesn't happen when I enter the text with the keyboard or if there's already text in the field.

I then put a WAIT WINDOW THIS.Value in the LostFocus. That caused a syntax error. That's when I realized that THIS.Value was NULL. Sure enough, this problem only happens if the edit box's value is null.

It seems like a bug to me. Especially since I can type into the field and its value changes but pasting doesn't work.

Glad, you got it.
Bruce, I had problems with UT and missed that you already came up with This.Value idea. Sorry :).
