I have sent a string to the clipboard in a button embed.
Then I want to use that string in a report filter.
How do I refer to the contents of the clipboard?
The books show CLIPBOARD().
I have assigned the value to a GLO:var named GLO:ClipB, like this;
GLO:ClipB = CLIPBOARD(), but it is always empty as far as I can tell.
My filter in my report does not work either, all records are always shown.
And I placed my GLO:ClipB on the report and it's blank too.
Do I have to expand CLIPBOARD() somehow to get to it's value?

Thanks,

Should work. You can copy the string after you send it to the clipboard
to somewhere else, like a text editor, i.e. you're sure the string is
in the clipboard?

hi david

try using other method if the clipboard thing doesn't work.

when I want to use the string in a report filter then I would use
passing parameter in the properties section.

the variable Glo:ClipB is blank prob because the clipboard() doesn't
return a value or empty.

the filter in your report doesn't work because you prob forgot to bind
the variables GLO:ClipB besides if your filter works then your report
will show no record at all because your variable GLO:ClipB is empty

Thanks
