Set Clipboard Content

[fed]

I am trying to put information into the Clipboard for use outside my FMP database. I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work. Any hellp would be greatly appreciated.

Set Variable [ $Claim Info; Value:Billing Claims::LastName & ", " & Billing Claims::FirstName ]

Perform AppleScript [ Calculated AppleScript: "set the clipboard to " & $Claim Info ]

Try this

Set Variable [ $claim; Value:Value:Billing Claims::LastName & ", " & Billing Claims::FirstName ] 

Perform AppleScript [ Calculated AppleScript: "set the_text to " & Quote($claim) & "¶set the clipboard to the_text" ]

--sd

How about a one-liner:

"set the clipboard to " & Quote ( Billing Claims::LastName & ", " & Billing Claims::FirstName )

True but when writing AS is the error messages tough to decipher - so the less you lump together in one statement the easier is it to debug!

I believe the compilation ignores the excess code?
