Nobody else seemed to have mentioned this. But generaly the clipboard is not
a good place to store data for any amount of time. It just might work if the
user is the only user. No network activity or other programs (like
clipboardmanagers) active. But I wouldn't rely 100% on getting out of the
clipboard what you have put into it. Certainly when the amount of thime
btween copy and paste rises.

Keep well, Ursus

"Network activity"?? "Only user"??

Each computer and user has their own clipboard.

The only real problem with using the clipboard as temporary storage is
that the FileMaker Script will replace whatever the user has already
stored in the clipboard and they may still want it.
