Michael,

In addition to David's suggestion to set ReadOnly to .T., you can set DisabledForeColor and DisabledBackColor so that the edit box isn't grayed out if that is a concern.

You could also do the following in the keypress event.

LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl

if !inlist(nKeycode,1,2,3,4,5,6,18,19,23,24,26,29,30,31,141,145)
*!* Allow only navigation keys -  arrow, home, end,pgup, pgdn 
*!* or ctrl+arrow, ctrl+home, ctrl+end, ctrl+pgup, ctrl+pgdn  
	nodefault
endif

This would leave the editbox enabled and allow only navigation keys to be used. Either way, should allow you to scroll the edit box with the scroll bars or arrow navigation keys and copy contents to clipboard if desired.
