Hi Dragan,

That seems to be the best solution. I have tried it from several sources and it works a treat.

As far as the Copy and Paste modes are concerned, should I turn the option off? It seems a bit backward to do so, as the user does have to get the browse and my application along side each other to perform the drag and drop.

Lisa Nicholls also suggested checking for certain characters [smart quotes - CHR(147) and CHR(148)], which I may also incorporate.

Regards...Rex
