Unable to copy to the clipboard

[vangundy]

I am using VBA in my xls spreadsheet. I opening a third party app using the shell command. The app opens and I use sendkeys to tab 3 times on the app. This works great... the problem is when I try to send sendkeys "^c" the field which is highlighted on the app is not being copied using the sendkeys "^c".... any ideas what is wrong? Again I am able to send tab 3 times to the app... the problem is the highlited contents on the app is not being copied to the clipboard...

Hi VanGundy,

Unfortunately, I have no solution to your question.

But I am curious about your handle as I have friends in Somerville, MA with that last name.

Any relation?

Hi vangundy,

I don't know for sure, but ctrl+c seems to work in an odd way with some apps - as though it somehow gets intercepted by Windows rather than being processed directly by the app - is there perhaps another key combination you could use (to do it via menus, perhaps)?

Enjoy,
Tony
