I have a text field in "test1.wkz", object number 1. my script is ... GO TO WINDOW "TEST1.WKZ" SELECT RANGE "trythis" COPY GO TO WINDOW "TEST2.WKZ" ACTIVATE FIELD 1 PASTE UNSELECT Perhaps it is the need to activate rather than select the field which may be causing you a problem? regards bernie ryan ___________________________________________________________________________ | bernie ryan * "if an eel lunges out | | bernier@netmanager.dotc.gov.au * and it bites-off your snout | | canberra, australia * that's a moray..." | | ph 61-6-2748344 fax 61-6-2748399 * (BC comics) | |___________________________________________________________________________|
