Chuckle, so is mine Dave. Mouse, holding breath cuz I have a finger on a button, is turning blue and finally exhales in desperation sort of thing I guess. Particularly against the left margin of a string. I can't see a single reason why a drag the mouse copy has to die if the mouse moves .0000001" past the left margin. But I didn't write it so I've no clue why it doesn't just take the whole damned highlighted string & be done with it. <exasperated sigh> > -- > DaveA Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
