Hello Jacqueline, Thanks for trying to help, but I am still lost. I used your: put the clipboarddata["image"] in a variety of ways, but could not make it work. The dictionary says "set the clipboardData..." not put.
Then I used this code in a button: on mouseUp set the clipboardData["image"] to image myLastImage put the clipboard end mouseUp The message box pops up saying "image" BUT, I still having nothing on my Windows (XP) clipboard!! I can copy from just about any other application on my computer, but not from LiveCode. sadly, Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
