>Can one of our API gurus please show me how to copy a file reference to the Windows clipboard (and also access a file reference on the windows clipboard) so that I can copy/paste files or file references (names) between my VFP app and Windows Explorer. I have not been able to find a way to do this, although the OLE drag-and-drop capabilities of VFP make it relatively simple to drag-drop files. We all know there are times when desktop clutter makes it more convenenient to copy-paste. Help!... and thanks!
Microsoft includes several free tools in a package called PowerToys. One of the tools adds the two options to the "Send To" menu: "Copy to Clipboard as Name", "Copy to Clipboard as Contents". "Copy to Clipboard as Name" will copy path+filename of the selected file to the clipboard.
