I work from a web database of users and I continually have to copy email address and user ID to two separate fields on a Salesforce.com page. I go to the webpage, highlight email address then copy. Then go to Salesforce page, and paste. Then go back to the webpage, then copy the User ID. Then go back to Salesforce page, and paste. I think it would be much more efficient to: On webpage, copy emailaddress and user ID. Then go to Salesforce and paste email address and user ID. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
