Tracy,
So far, so good. For anyone else interested...
I first tried putting a CONFIG.FPW file containing the line "resource=off" in the startup folder where VFP9.exe is located. Sure enough, the copy command now worked fine but VFP was brain-dead, not offering any help...like all the settings that I have grown to depend having it remember. Not a good option. So I removed the config.fpw file and everything went back to previous behavior (including the lock up on copy to clipboard.)
Next, on Win 7 Pro, I fired up VFP and used the SYS(2005) function to find the correct, actively-in-use FOXUSER file. It was in the hidden User AppData Roaming folder. c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Visual Foxpro 9 I started up VFP, and issued the command "set resource off" from the command line (otherwise the FOXUSER file is locked.) Use/Opened the table use "c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Visual Foxpro 9\foxuser.dbf" in 0 exclu Deleted all rows with ID field matching "WINDSNIP" or "SNIPLAST" (there were over 100 out of a total of 300) Packed the table. Exited VFP and restarted VFP.
Now, all my good stuff is remembered between sessions, and when I use the COPY to CLIPBOARD it doesn't lock up.
BTW, before the above 'fix' I had tried clicking the menu copy button on the toolbar, using the right-click copy option, and using CTRL+C on the keyboard....all of them produced the same problem.
Hopefully this will resolve the "COPY OUT TO LUNCH" problem.
Thanks again, Tracy!
