copy and automatic paste to the web

[monsnow]

Hello,

After completing a find for a record, I would like to jump into another program to find more information.

The first item: I know that I can have FM copy a field, but how can I set it so when I open a new program and hit control V to paste it? Or even better, have FM automatically paste the text for me. For clarity, I find an owner of a home in my database, copy their address, and would like to paste it into Microsoft Streets and Trips.

The second item: similiar circumstance as above except with a web page. I can get as far as having FM open up a dialogue box verifying the web address, but not automatically opening up the page. I also have the same pasting needs.

Thank you, Michael

"how can I set it so when I open a new program and hit control V to paste it?"

You'll need an OS-level scripting language to accomplish this, and it may bepend on how "scriptable" the target application is too. AppleScript is built into MacOS X, you'll have to buy something like WinBatch for Wintel.

"I can get as far as having FM open up a dialogue box verifying the web address"

Are you using the Open URL script step? If so, try selecting the option to perform without dialog.

Thanks Vaughan, appreciate your help.

I checked out the software you mentioned and will consider buying it.
