Legacy -- source clipboard query

[Steve Hayes]

Is it possibly to copy records to the source clipboard in one Legacy file, and
paste them to another file?

If so, how does one do it?

There is one obvious kludge that will work: make up a fake person,
and attach all the source records to him. Copy that person to the
new file, and the records will follow. Now delete the fake person
from both files.

Why don't you try asking on the Legacy mailing list?

Short answer, no. Long answer, copy to an intermediate program like

NoteTab and re-copy. You have to open each source to physically copy
the information, you know, highlight, ctrl-c on and on. NoteTab makes
it easier with what they call a Pasteboard function. You don't have to
switch to NoteTab and Paste the info. If Pasteboard is turned on,
anything you copy or cut will automatically paste.
Hope it helps.

Because I would prefer not to have my inbox cluttered up with yet another
mailing list, especially when I only have a question about the operation of
Legacy about once every six months.

There's a searchable archive, the question may have been answered
there...
