BINGO ! That worked.

So, apparently when you execute myRange.Find.Execute() it changes the value of myRange to the range of what was found !!! Is that correct ?
It would be nice if there was a clear understanding of all of these properties and methods somewhere that explained things in simple terms. Yes, I know, there is a CHM file with all of this stuff in it ... but I have yet to be able to make sense of anything I wish to use and to be able to use it in VFP.

>>I am working on a project where I am using a template document (DOT) from WORD and VFP to produce a final document. I am finding that putting in little tokens like or and then searching and replacing using the FIND object works quite well. However, there are places where I need to put in a large quantity (memo field) of text and the FIND object balks at anything over 254 characters in length. So I am stuck again.

>>Or, something I just thought of ... Maybe I could use the last 50 characters of the text I just inserted for the next search and then replace it with those same 50 characters plus 200 more , etc ,etc , until the entire contents of the memo field have been inserted. A pretty convoluted method to be sure but if it works so what ?
