   Hi,   
   I'm running 98SE, VB6 with SP5.   
      
   I've never had a problem cutting and pasting within the same program,   
   either with ^C/^V or the windows cut/paste.   
   If a form's property is "read only",  then it shows that in brackets in the   
   title bar, but you can still cut and paste (but not save - it IS a "read only"   
   file)   
   even if the program is running in the IDE and being single stepped, you should   
   still be able to copy and paste.   
      
   Now that I've said what you SHOULD be able to do, without sitting in front of   
   your PC, I don't know how to fix your problem.   
      
   I think you may have to find a PC nerd/freak/expert (just being descriptive,   
   that is - not intending to insult your friends/rellies/whoever that can help)   
   to be able to take a look at what windows is doing to your PC.
