Doug: have you "moved off" the variable memo field? This has tripped me up before. Until you move off the field you haven't "saved" the value into the variable. You might have to have the eep advance to the next field after the paste?

I'm able to run the PasteTextFromClipBoard external form and text gets pasted into the Variable Memo control (variable = vPasteText) when I click the Paste button. But when I sho var, the variable vPasteText is null. Shouldn't it contain the pasted text? If I do a Ctrl-V and manually paste text into the Variable Memo control, the text gets pasted and the variable vPasteText contains the pasted text. That's what I'm trying to accomplish. Am I misunderstanding the PasteFromClipBoard property? Thanks much for your help. Doug 9.5.5.20214 (32) On 2/16/2015 6:37 PM, A.

RECALC VARIABLES doesn't work and I've tried TRUE and 'TRUE'. Attributes Word Wrap, How Hint and Tab Stop are the only ones checked. None of the Cut, Copy and Paste Settings are checked to prevent the respective action. Here's a sample that illustrates the use of such property ... http://www.Razzak.com/SampleApplications/files/PasteTextFromClipBoard.zip This is an External Form File and you should be able to run from any R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 session regardless of the connected database.
