Hi
I have no problems copying like you say in Uniface9.
It's also working in Uniface 10.04.02, starting from the application.
However, in Uniface 10.04.02 I have som strangeness getting gold directly from keyboard into the source. It looks like a green asterisk, which is different from the one I get in my own Uniface10 application (looks like a point, which however can be copied to the source).

I haven't yet been programming that much with Uniface10 so I don't know about the gold here...
What version are you using?

I am on 10.4.01.  I should mention the steps more indepth.

I copy a line of uniface source code from the ide into an editbox....

It works although the character for gold characters is a back arrow

It I copy the editbox text and paste it into the ide, the gold is maintained.... so all good so far

I copy the editbox to another editbox (FIELD1 = FIELD2) 

FIELD2 has lost the gold.  The backarrow is converted to .; in the case of gold-;

paste FIELD2 into the ide.... the gold is lost.

The loss of the gold is the problem I have.

I suppose writing with keyboard the   gold-;  into field1, allow a successful copy to field2?  

Actually not....  

Okay... I just remembered something that I must have forgot a while back.... 

I believe I am right in says that uniface gold characters can not be held in an editbox.... 

The solution is to use a unifield....  This now works.  

FIELD1 and FIELD2 need to be unifields.

* You end up losing all the niceities of an editbox but is sometimes needed
