Sounds similar to what I do. Only, I compile it all into an .EXE, then put a shortcut to the .EXE on my MS Office shortcut bar. This way, my main program is just:

_CLIPTEXT = mhHTMLCode( _CLIPTEXT )

You're right, this is a very useful tool. Thanks Mike!

>Like many of us, I really enjoy using Mike Helland's mhHTMLCode utility, which turns ordinary VFP code into syntax-colored HTML for posting on the Web. (If you haven't discovered this yet, it's available for download here on the UT.) Mike has also provided a slick online interface for this, which you can find at http://24.14.98.235/htmlcode.asp.

>There are times when I'd like to have a quick desktop interface to mhHTMLCode, though. The idea would be to allow you to copy your VFP code into the clipboard, run mhHTMLCode from the VFP Tools menu, and then paste the results back from the clipboard - quick and easy. So, here's one way to do that.

>The code below assumes that mhHTMLCode is in C:\VFPTools\mhHTMLCode\. Change it to correspond to where mhHTMLCode is on your machine.

>_cliptext = mhHTMLCode( _cliptext)
>set path to ( lcPath)

>2) In vfpstart.prg (or whatever command file you call on VFP startup), put this code (the menu location and bar # are up to the you):

>Hope you find it useful. And of course, thanks to Mike for making this great little utility available in the first place.
