>_ClipText may contain characters other than those normally viewed. For example the carriage return which is not evaluated well inside a TextBox, the [] box is font dependant, but almost all including WingDings shows this as a [] box. You may want ChrTran( string, chr(13), chr(32) ) in the ProgrammaticChange().

Yes, I know exactly what you mean, that's happened to me a few times. I don't *think* that's his problem, but you never know...

Also, it since occurred to me he could be running a top-level for that form - in which case, the edit stuff won't work unless you add the functionality.
