I've been perplexed with copy / pasting into filePro stuff in the past. I've learned to copy, any source, then paste into MS's Notepad. Copy all you pasted, from Notepad. Then paste into filePro (or any application). What is pasted has only 'regular/normal' ascii characters. Reggie Freedman CPI of South Florida, Inc. Deltona Florida 386 960-7073
