   Frustrated with data entry people

   We have a Paradox database. It contains information about products we   
   copy off the 'Net. We have a custom utility that cleans text in   
   Windows clipboard of any forbidden characters like carriage   
   return/line feeds (CRLF). I have told the employees time and again to   
   NEVER paste text directly from a web page into a Paradox field. But   
   they sometimes do and when the field contains a CRLF it signifies to   
   Paradox that it is the end of the record when we export the data to a   
   flat ASCII file. Any data after the CRLF is gone. Is there any   
   mechanism in Paradox that will filter out forbidden characters so this   
   no longer happens?
