Copy/Pasting Data in Access 2007 Runtime environment

[PaulA]

Hi, all--

I was hoping to use a runtime version of an A2007 application at a site that does not have Access available.

Part of the use would be to copy data from a spreadsheet and past into a form. I am discovering that copying/pasting does not seem to be available in the runtime environment.

Am I missing something? Or is that limitation part of the feature of a runtime application?

thanks.

Paul

How are you attempting to copy and paste?

Just right-clicking on the data in the spreadsheet and then right-clicking on the record on the form. I'm not getting any menu when right-clicking in the application and there is no menu that I see for such things.

I would guess I'm missing something (and yes, this is my first time at this).

Thanks.

That would be the problem. When using the Runtime you have to create your own Ribbons and right click menus (you might not have to if you don't uncheck the Use Default Shortcut Menus checkbox).

But here's how you can create a shortcut menu of your own.

Great--I'll check it out.

Thanks!
