Do I get extra points for being able to laugh at myself?

Thanks, Dave. That has been an issue that has been confounding me for years and I have not found a good work around. As always these little pearls of wisdom we glean from others really help improve work flow processes. So simple and intuitive but yet so elusive. John

thanks, you saved me

Copying a system exe from one OS to another is not advisable. Also how many people will have XP and Vista/7 readily available to them at the same time? IF he wants to view the clipboard there are several free apps that will work on his OS... BUT as I said what use they might be in Sketchup is debatable...

Thank you for that. I'm happy they were helpful to you. It's nice to know.
