   I knew I had done this before.  Thanks to Randy Birch's post below, he   
   reminded me that there was a much easier way.  I found my code, so here it   
   is:   
      
   Public Function GetText(hwnd As Long) As String   
       Dim strTemp As String   
       Dim lngLength As Long   
      
       lngLength = SendMessage(hwnd, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, ByVal 0, ByVal 0)   
      
       strTemp = Space(lngLength)   
      
       SendMessage hwnd, WM_GETTEXT, ByVal lngLength + 1, ByVal strTemp   
      
       GetText = strTemp   
   End Function
