Funnily enough we also had an issue with the clipboard earlier in the week when 
using DataToClip().

When using date fields or datetime fields in the cursor, running 
DataToCLip(<cursor>,  <Option>) whether Option is set to 1 or 3 (Space 
delimited or tab delimited) and then pasting the clipboard into Excel, dates 
really do screw up as some dates go in British style DD/MM/YY and other dates 
get pasted in the American format MM/DD/YY regardless of the display format 
selected. 

Solution:
In the cursor you are copying into the clipboard, send " "+dtoc(<datefield>) as 
opposed to the datefield. Note that just using dtoc(<datefield>) produces 
exactly the same results as sending a date field. All date fields then go into 
the spreadsheet as proper "Date" values and are displayed correctly.

Just a heads up in case anyone else is pasting into Excel.

Subject: Issue with _cliptext

Hi all

If I run the following code

= Adbobjects(laTables, 'Table')
= Asort(laTables)
_Cliptext = ""
* The array has 365 rows
For lnTable = 1 To Alen(laTables)
        Use (Right(Juststem(loData),1) + "_" + laTables(lnTable))
        _Cliptext = _Cliptext + Padr(laTables(lnTable),20) + 
Replicate(Chr(9),2) + Str(Reccount(),10,0) + Chr(13) Endfor ? 
MemLines(_Cliptext)
* _Cliptext only has 357 lines

But if I use a variable lcCliptext instead of _Cliptext all is well (lcCliptext 
has 365 lines).  It is as if _Cliptext can't keep up ...
