Copy / Paste different in VFP 9?

There's been no change in this. Are you sure you have a menu pad defined with the Copy option on it when you try this?

Hi Tamar,
Yes, I have a menu pad on it ... and it works perfectly in VFP 6. Is there something I need in the config.fpw that I might have missed? I have both versions on my machine and flip back and forth all the time. They use the same config.fpw.
It is very strange... a ctrl+c will delete the highlighted text, and it seems the ctrl+v does nothing.

Jane,
I can assure you that nothing has changed in VFP that could explain the behaviour you are seeing. All my apps have menus with cut, copy and paste, and they all work as expected, as do Ctrl+C, etc.
The only explanation I can think of is that you are redefining Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V somewhere - either by assigning them to shortcuts in other menus, or in a Keypress event, or perhaps with ON KEY LABEL. Is that possible?

Thanks for the input. I did get it working... I reset my top sysmenu to _medit and it is working... dont know why it was different in vfp 6... was probably just lucky. Just knowing that it had not changed pointed me in the right direction. Thank you.
