OK I have a form with Computed Text fiels, rich text, etc…and for certain conditions I can’t select text and either use “Ctrl-C” OR " right click and select Copy (it’s greyed out)"
Situation (1) When a user is using his own Notes ID (this is in the notes client btw). He simply cannot copy text, the option isn’t there. But when I switch to MY id the option IS there. Both Id’s have identical ACL Access.
Situation (2) When I use MY id, I can copy and paste and select all I want, but when the document is in “Edit” Mode I cannot.
So in other words the only way I can get the option to “Copy” text to a clipboard is to (1) Have the user use my ID (which is not possible) and (2) Have the document ONLY in Read mode when wanting to copy text.
Does any one have a reason for this and possibly a solution???
Subject: Can’t Copy selected Text
You are having fun with controlled access sections. Check to see who are the allowed editors for that section…
Subject: RE: Can’t Copy selected Text
There are no Sections on this form.
Subject: #2 is by design. When in edit mode, you can only copy (and paste) text
from within a field not the static text. Thats the way it has worked since R1. When not in edit mode, you can copy from any portion of the document.

ok that is fine, I can deal with that, but what about the issue where based on ID used the selections can’t be copied?

No I do not.
I also noticed that I had some “onEnter” code in there basically on enter of this computed field it would move the cursur elsewhere. I removed that and the copy feature is available now. But that still doesn’t explain why My id would work and there’s wouldn’t.
