   I don't actually have VB6 on the machine at all.  The application was written   
   in VB6.

   Few have, but I've discovered that some other users of this applications are   
   among them.

   Agreed.  And I can edit the window all I want.

   We've just discovered that the right-click menu on the form WILL allow a paste.   
   What doesn't work is either CTRL-V or the Edit menu "Paste" option.

   Won't work.  I am one.  I've been building and debugging PCs since the '70's.
