Help!

[bthomas]

I have a Main form with a subform, and when my users copy a record they are only pasting the record from the main form and not the subform. Can anyone help me??

>I have a Main form with a subform
Do you mean a Mdi application?

>and when my users copy a record
using Ado? from textbox via clipboard? From a grid via variables?

>they are only pasting the record from the main form and not the subform
pasting where?

What is Mdi?

copy the displaying record and paste using the clipboard to a new record in the same form.

[Cimperiali]

Mdi is "Multiple Document Interface", which means to build app similar to word (where you have a Main form and a lot of Children forms) as opposed to Sdi ("Single Document Interface") which is represented by Notepad (all in a single form).
>copy the displaying record and paste using the clipboard to a new record in the same form.
You should add some more detail: in your form there is a grid (or flexgrid)? Are you copying from a richtexbox?...In any case, if you are able to put data in clipboard and to paste from it, I think your matter (in main and not in subform or viceversa) is only a matter of focus: before pasting, put focus on the correct form (ie: Form1.setfocus).
Hope this may help.
