>thanks for the suggestion. However, won't this always place the cursor at the end of the text in the control? If I paste some text in the control that already has text...say inserting a word between two other that already exist in the EditBox....I would still want the cursor position to be at the end of the inserted text...not automatically show up at the end of all the text.

Let me to understand better. . The field had (for instance) "abcdef_" so you inserted "ghij" and you want the cursor to be after "f"..

If so.. Here we go..

nwlenght                 = len(allt(Thisform.myedit.value))
* 
Thisform.myedit.value    = Thisform.myedit.value + _cliptext
Thisform.myedit.selstart = nwlenght
