Pleased to report that your suggestion worked just fine. I found that a single left click a little to the left of the text cursor's position selected the entire line. I should be able to get to that position by adding commands to size and position TextPad beforehand. And I'll now go straight to my target line and copy that line (DateTime) to the clipboard. Thanks for that work-around ;-) -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK
