Thanks Sergey. I have tested using _cliptext variable to copy fields and records to the clipboard and that is too slow. Much, much faster is to use a local variable, iterate through all fields and records and add to the local variable, and then store the local variable to _cliptext. Seems about as fast as _VFP.DataToClip(). Works for me.

Thanks
