Jackie, that's fine, and I've no problem with your way of doing this, but what's wrong with using F6 to move to the address field. Doing this I find the address is already highlighted and I can simply do a control-C to copy. It's simply I find alt-D a bit cramped to do. Cheers, Ray.

Then I use control, shift and end keys to select the whole address, and then control C to copy to the clipboard. Now that works for me always, whether it's right or not! (smile.)
