copying data to clipboard

[Wouter]

Hi there,

I'm trying to program that specific data will be copied to the clipboard so the user can paste it in, for example, Excel or Word.
I already know that the following code can do this:

Clipboard.setdataobject( " some text " )

But that's where my problem just starts. It seems I can only copy the data to Excel and Word etc. as long as my application is running. As soon as I quit it, the clipboard is empty.

How can I program that the data stays on the clipboard even when the application is closed?

Thx in advance

Found it already
I had to add "true" in the following way:

clipboard.setdataobject( " some text " , true)

If you're just setting single data such as text you can use the SetText method, it persists also.
