Do the paste into a hidden field then process that hidden field into its component pieces and place these component pieces into the displayed field.

I would probably write my code in the When-Mouse-DoubleClick trigger.

As the documentation says that we can't override the 'Copy' function key, and the 'Paste_Region' command will only work in the current field, so we can't do that in a hidden field. So try this, do a 'Paste_Region' into the field in which you want the first data element, assign that element to a hidden field, process the hidden field by looking for the separators using the 'instr' function (you MAY have to work from the right hand end backwards through the field), then assign each definable portion of the field to one of the data fields in this row remembering to assign the first (or last depending on the direction in which you worked) portion to your current field, and then do a 'synchronize' to get Forms to refresh the screen.

If you are working in a business, then ask a collegue. If you are studying then pretend to like someone and ask for their help.
