Here's one way to do it: Add 2 boolean properties to your window. Call them NoCopy and NoPaste and have them both default to False. For the no-paste editfield, add code to the GotFocus and LostFocus events. The GotFocus event should set NoPaste to True and the LostFocus event should set NoPaste to False. For the no-copy editfield, do the same, except the GotFocus event should set NoCopy to True, and the LostFocus event should set NoCopy to False. Now for the Window itself, in the EnableMenuItems event, add EditCopy.Enabled = not NoCopy EditPaste.Enabled = not NoPaste Double negatives may be bad English grammar, but they work just fine as RB code. ;-) Mark Nutter Quick and easy regex creation and debugging! http://www.bucktailsoftware.com/products/regexplorer/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Have a burning question?
