Hi Fred,

No, that did not solve the problem.

I have found the solution myself: I first made a small exe with just a form with at push button that does a "CREATE REPORT", and guess what - that worked. I then inserted that form at different points in my startup code and found that the cut and paste functions ceased to work just after I had "DO"'ed my main menu. Examining the Main Menu MPR file, I found a "SET SYSMENU TO", and that gave me a pointer in the right direction. The solution was to push and pop my main menu and activating the proper sysmenus, as in:
PUSH MENU _MSYSMENU
SET SYSMENU TO _MFILE, _MEDIT
MODIFY REPORT (cReportName)
POP MENU _MSYSMENU
And then everything works fine.

But thanks for the help anyway, I think your support was part of pointing me in the right direction.

Peter
