Yet another great idea! VFP 9 SP2-ish (can't recall which HotFixes...) 09.00.0000.5815 on this machine.
If I SETVARCHARMAPPING ON and change the field arguments to RTRIM(field) as field, I get VarChar results. Using DataToClip I get... fixed columns widths again, darn. Not what I would have expected. I thought about the TESTMERGE solution, and I do use that in some parts of the app, where the client has to interface with some dedicated hardware that has *WEIRD* formatting rules, but hadn't considered that here. If I can get away with Tracy's solution of hacking at _ClipText, I'll probably stick with it.
