Thanx Frank, Your suggestion worked perfectly, I used a slight variation so I could also retain the original textFont...
lock screen if the clipboard is text then paste set textFont of char 1 to (the number of chars in fld "Field") of fld "Field" to Tahoma set textSize of char 1 to (the number of chars in fld "Field") of fld "Field" to 11 unlock screen This was something that annoyed me more than anything, I mean it wouldn't stop the app from function properly but it screwed with the aesthetics, and we can't have that now, can ;?) Anyway thanx again for pointing me in the right direction it was the finishing touch on my app, now I can have my head up ass down instead of head down ass up. Cheers Dwayne Rothe......... ---------------------------------- Original Message -------------------------------- You could also trap the paste request somehow and execute something like this (untested code): paste set the textSize of char 1 to (the number of chars in field "Field") of field "Field" to empty On Feb 23, 2005, at 4:52 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > i wrote a bugzilla about this...
