    Re: String Manipulation Help

    Although you should technically be allowed to paste valid text. I still maintain that clearing out invalid characters in the Change() event is the better way to handle pasting.

    Does anyone know how Microsoft handles it? Are there any limited-character textboxes in Windows or Office we can play with to see how they handle pasting invalid characters?

    EDIT: Microsoft allows invalid characters. For example, you can type letters into any numeric textbox under Tools=>Options in both Excel and Word, and if you right-click the desktop and go to the Screen Saver tab, you can type letters in the "Wait ... minutes" textbox.
