Jeff, I just tried it and it worked properly (mostly). I put a million characters on the clipboard, pasted it to a text variable on a form and checked the length. Oddly enough the length showed 999,999.
I tried putting a few control characters in there just for kicks, but it still worked. You could call Get text from pasteboard and put it directly into the variable to see if that works. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Dillon 825 N. 500 W.
