Hi Tim,

I see a litle bit different behavior. I copied 140 bytes multiline text into clipboard and pasted it into textbox until VFP allowed me to. After that I checked some values:

LEN(_CLIPTEXT)       140
LEN(Edit1.Value)   4,704
# of CRLF's          784

It looks like VFP dosn't count CRLF's into MaxLenght when Paste is used. After I typed any character into editbox, Edit1.Value was truncated to 4,000 characters. My conclusion is, that there's a bug when text with CRLF's is pasted into editbox. VFP allows to paste more characters than allowed by MaxLenght property.
