I copied some data from a spreadsheet. I made a field in LC. I pasted the data into the field. Works fine. It always did. Just for laughs, I made a button with: on mouseUp put the clipBoardData into fld "colin" end mouseUp Am I missing something in what you are asking?

If I do that with Numbers all is good. From Excel I get nothing. 'the clipboard' tells me that it contains 'text, but that 'the clipboarddata' is apparently empty. If I take a moment to paste the clipboard into another program, I can then go on to paste in LiveCode ok. Is there a way for LiveCode to see the text from Excel without first pasting it into another program? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
