Topic: Clipboard problems

I am trying to move some records from one survey to another. However, whenever I try and Cut and Paste the Event and associated records I get the error message "Cannot open Clipboard". I have tried various things, such as restarting the application, and checking that I can use the clipboard in other applications, but I keep getting the error message. Very occasionally the Cut will work and so I can paste the records to the new survey.

I have about 100 records to move. Is there any other way to move the records?

Re: Clipboard problems

I get this, but only when I have some e.g. Excel VBA operations also going on (that involve the clipboard). Have you tried closing all other applications?

Alternatively, you can drag and drop all levels of the hierarchy (this doesn't use the clipboard).

Re: Clipboard problems

Thanks, closing all other applications seemed to have cured the problem
