Is it possible to paste data into a UserForm?
 

Well, this UserForm is becoming less and less of interest to us all the
time. This may be its death knell.

Our input people don't type the data: they copy and paste it from other
electronic sources. Is it possible to copy text from, say, an e-mail
message, and paste it into a text box on a UserForm? If so, how do I
convince the form (or text box) to allow that? I am on a Macintosh, by
the way. I've tried Command-V (the usual pasting keystroke) and nothing
happens.

If not, *please* get your act together on the Macintosh, Microsoft. If
my users can't tab between textboxes on the form *and* they can't paste
into textboxes, there's no point in the UserForms for us. It's enough
to send one to Open Office, good Mac gui or not, it really is. I know
we're the "enemy" platform, but if you're gonna develop for us,
*develop* for us!

I don't know about a Mac, but Ctrl+v works fine to paste into a
text box under Windows.

I need to know if there's any way to do it on the Mac.

Might be a better place to ask.

I am so amazingly dim that I didn't even catch what you were suggesting.
Hours of VB programming must've blunted my wits!

What's more, Ctrl-V *works* to paste on the Mac, too! Oh, happy day!

Thanks so much, and again my apologies for massive obtuseness.
