Probem with SetCopyBuffer

In the code below  (this has been simplified but ok to use as an example) if we use SetCopyBuffer with @ASynchShell the clipboard looses the information.  If you rem out the @ASynchShell line the clipboard maintains the information.

Thanks, Andrew

var n as Int
var vSelectedDoc as String

vselectedDoc = "C:\Sesame2\Docs\AA Service Invoice.doc"

SetCopyBuffer(Billing Email)

n = @ASynchShell(vselectedDoc)

Hi Andy,

If you change it to open a .txt file(which should open n Notepad) instead of a .doc file is the information still in the clipboard? I believe you will find that it is, which means that the program you are using on that computer to open .doc files is clearing the clipboard and not the @ASynchShell() call itself.

I'm saying this as I just tested it here using a sample database, a sample word doc and your code works just fine with how Word 2007 is setup on that test bed computer. The data is still in the clipboard and can be pasted right into the .doc file in Word.

-Ray

Think I may have found the issue.  The SetCopyBuffer does not work with Word 2010 but works ok with Word 2007.  Not sure if it works with a newer version of Word.

Andy,

SetCopyBuffer() sets the standard Windows clipboard to the value passed into it, same as Ctrl+C would do in Sesame(or any number of programs). You may have an issue with how Word is attempting to paste the data from the clipboard which could be caused by a setting in word, an add-in or even another program according to a quick google search on Word 2010 being unable to paste from the clipboard.

Just to confirm I tested on another PC with Word 2007 and it did not work.

Try this:

Use Ctrl+C to copy some data in Sesame
Manually open Word to a blank document
Try to paste

Does it work?

Problem solved.  The issue was with a Microsoft Word addin.  3rd part PDF software addin (Foxit PDF Creator).  Unticked this addin and all worked ok.

For Word 2010 (similar for other versions)

File>Options>Add-Ins
"Manage: Comm Add-ins" Select Go..button
Untick one at a time and test.

This is a common issue with add-ins that use the clipboard to customize their toolbar buttons.
