Hi,

>>
My users have reported memo corruption after using 'Copy and Paste' to select text from Web pages and paste them into my VFP application. This appears to be due to hidden control codes on the web page.

This isn't a VFP problem. What are your users expecting to see when they view the Memo field? If I copy and paste the header of this message from IE I get:

which is the ASCII content in the area. If they expect the same appearance and layout as the web page then you would need to capture the underlying HTML and view it using a browser. Even that wouldn't work too well unless they were online since most pages contain further links to content. Other option is to somehow save the area as a graphics image.

HTH,
Viv
