Ali,

Ok, now I now what you are seeing. It's a bug that goes way back to at least VFP5 because that's where I first ran into it.

The editbox it has to do with the CR and LF characters are rendered into the control and interact with setting the SelText property.

Using this seems to be more reliable:

_screen.edt.Value = left( _screen.edt.Value, _screen.edt.SelStart ) + ;
   " insert this text " + ;
   substr( _screen.edt.Value, _screen.edt.SelStart + 1 )

Sorry for the bum steer.

So far every thing was fine, but when I pressed enter next to the “Whatever” and then pressed the command button, “Whatever” inserted two characters after the word in the next line after it. For example, if I had “Nextline” in the line after that, it became: “NeWhateverxtline”. I did not have any code in that form.
