What code do I write to cut from a text box in a form?

And what code do I write when I want to get the os version or name

"Cut" is by definition a delete and a copy. Do you want to cut or just
copy? Do you really intend to put this value on the clipboard, or do you
just want to get the value and save it somewhere handy for processing by
later code.

To copy a text box's value to the clipboard, you can do this:

With Me!YourTextbox
.SetFocus
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(.Text)
RunCommand acCmdCopy
End With

If you really want to cut it -- that is, copy to clipboard and delete --
then use acCmdCut instead of acCmdCopy.

If you're not planning to do it manually, I wonder if you need to involve
the clipboard at all. What is it you really want to do? Copying or moving
a value from one text box to another in code can be accomplished much more
simply than by copy/pasting.
