      From: liz@paradoxcommunity.com              Better option, forget trapping paste and instead, use the changeValue       event to look for and remove illegal characters - then, no matter how       they got there, you remove them.              I prefer this over doing it at export because then your database has       good data, not just your export.              Liz                     Jim Hargan wrote:       > On Thu, 28 Jun 2007 10:15:37 -0700, Ike wrote:       >       > 2.
