I understood your question perfectly. You asked it twice more, I deleted both. I have answered you. You need to write code to capture the paste event, and then read your data, and write it into your columns and rows. You can't write some code which will magically cause the text you copied to jump into rows and columns, the logical thing to do, is to write code so your copy operation stores the data as XML, so that the row/column data is stored, and then reads that to fill out your grid again. This, of course, means that only your grid will paste the way you want, not other programs. I see no way around this.

Well, you can handle the events of copying and pasting, which means you can create your own format to store data if you want to, or just store as text ( I think I'd store as text using XML and then read that XML to fill my cells on a paste )

The database is irrelevant, you're copying and pasting to and from a UI element, not the db, right ?
