I'm at a complete loss.

 

Really simple... custom menu set, custom 'edit' menu - see attached.

 

If I insert the Paste command, or Paste without style command into the menu, it's dimmed... can not be used.

 

Cut and Copy work fine... can't paste.

 

I can't see any reason why this is the case... it's gotta be something simple?

 

To test... I put the "Omit Record" command in the menu - that works fine.

 

So it's just paste commands.

"Paste" only works when there's something in the clipboard. In this case it should be text. Could this be the problem?

Ok, let me clarify a few things:

 

- definitely something in the clipboard... I'm copying text from another field

- if I switch to full access menus, I can paste fine

- not trying to paste into a container field... just a normal text field

- see screen capture attached

- same problem on Mac and Win

- FM13 Advanced or FM13 Standard

no paste.mov

I just made the menu item based on "Paste" instead of "Paste Text Only"

 

and now it works

 

see attached.

 

So the question is... why can't I have a menu item based on "paste text only"?
