It may also be limited to Windows Finale. I have no personal experience with it, because I have never used the underlying API calls in the PDK. It is unfortunate that the PDK Framework does not provide a way to call the Copy/Paste menu items in the Edit menu. This is what I would do if programming directly to the PDK. (I don't trust the Copy/Paste APIs because I don't think they get much use, and they use clip files.)<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>You could try creating the directory it wants to write the clip files in.
