   I can't begin to figure that one out unless the original text that was   
   pasted into the field included spaces around the tab.  Otherwise, I'd   
   blame gremlins, or the heat, maybe the Dragon Reborn...   Try some   
   more tests and if it's still doing it, I'll try some testing...   
      
   Not that you want it for this application, but you could add the   
   following, just before the "eventInfo.setNewValue(..)" line:   
      
   stNewValue = rtrim(ltrim(stNewValue))   
      
   ...and it would trim any white-space characters from the start and the   
   end of the string.

   Sounds like you figured it out, but just for good measure...  To have   
   the character removed and not replaced, you just change this line from   
   inside the for loop:   
      
   stNewValue = stNewValue + " " + arBreak[liCounter]   
      
   ...to this:   
      
   stNewValue = stNewValue + arBreak[liCounter]

   It can take a bit of work to figure out, but it's lots of fun getting   
   there, IMO.

   You're welcome.
