However, I have often found having a single Clipboard area falls short when having to switch between 3 or 4 values. Like doing things on the internet with - User Ids, passwords, e-mail addresses, etc.
Up until now I have put the required text into tools like EditPadPro/Wordpad/etc. when switching frequently between values.
Doing HMRC file submissions over the last several days, has made me think about improving on this approach. Why not write a small VFP App to hold - lets say 9 different texts - that can be updated from or to the Clipboard with only a single mouse click.
Well that's what I've done see picture. First select a text value (turns yellow) then click the small arrows on the left shaded green to place the current contents into the chosen text field - thereby saving it. To place a text string into the Clipboard - select the value before clicking the red arrows on the right. Simple really. And I'm finding it very useful.
