Copy and Paste between applications

[taz75]

Hi there,

I used to be able to copy something from an application, open a new one and then paste it.

However, now I have to have both applications open before I start.

Does anyone know what is going on or how I can correct this?

Thanks in advance,

Laura

You mean if you have just one app open - copy something in it, then open a second app, you can't paste in there? But you can if second app already open? Are you sure? (copied material is suitable for second app - eg, copy a picture & try to paste into app which doesn't support pictures wouldn't work)

When did this start happening? Any changes to hardware/software immediately before this?

Yes I am sure!

I am copying text from a FoxPro table into an Excel spreadhseet.

Once they are both open it works fine.

I can't link this to installing any new software and don't know anyone else in the company who suffers from this.

Any ideas?

I don't really have any ideas about this - just seems odd. Is it just foxpro & excel or any 2 apps?
