Thanks, Yuri.

I have used that before, but I have a lot of text data that throws off the vfp-to-clipboard/paste method.

Clipboard data is just text, delimited by either spaces or tabs. I can't guarantee that my fields won't have tabs embedded, destroying the ability to parse correctly when pasting. I saw a method for copying from an ADO recordset that may work, but then I'd have to create one of those.
