Hi Maria and Hugh,

Thanx for dropping in. Indeed we currently
process the info thru clipboard....

I just looked for a way to escape this trick.

The COM model should be powerfull enough
to avoid communication thru the clipboard.

The clipboard is shared ... i'd prefer
a cleaner way into it with a robust com-driven
inter-process communication.

Looks like vfp8 is no cure for this.
