>can it be done, letting a user copy information in an active textbox and past it in say a word document?

Sure. You should add the Copy, Paste, Cut menus to your app menu so they can do this. You can also stuff a character string into the VFP _cliptext system variable which is the same as a Ctrl+C [Copy]. See also _VFP.DataToClip() method if interested in stuffing data from a table into the clipboard ready for pasting elsewhere.
