Thanks again for the reply Claudio...
To help clarify matters, what I would like to have happen is this:
1. Within the EditBox is the phrase, "Hello World".
2. I copy the word "fantastic" into the clipboard.
3. I position my cursor insertion point between "Hello" and "World".
4. I press Ctrl-V and I would like to see the cursor show up after "fantastic", but before "World".

Based on what you are suggesting...maybe I need a way to capture the cursor insertion point so I know where I started?? Is there a property or method that allows me to know the cursor insertion point?

thanks
Douglas
