Sorry to Mike for the double post, I realized that I hadn't changed the
address and only sent it to him, thought this may be of interest to
others, if only to discuss pros/cons of the idea.
This may be a complete hack, but it works. Flash has access to the
clipboard (System.setClipboard("String data");) so if you could either
provide your interface, or at least portions of it in Flash. Or for a
true hack-around solution, have just the button be a Flash movie, pass
the form elements to a server-side script, which sends back the data to
the Flash movie to concatenate and set the clipboard. Something like
that.
On second thought, the Flash will need the values to pass to the script
anyway, so that wouldn't work. But if you can use Flash to create the
interface, even just the parts with the name and address, you're on
your way. It's even possible to pass those values into the Flash
movie, if you're either loading a second (or more) page already, or
even reloading the current page. This would accomplish the above idea
of using just the Flash button. Anyway, without more details of the
program, that could at least get juices flowing.
A note, this capability does require Flash Player 7.

No, its simply a feature. On the old, desktop-based database, they had
a
button to put the mailing address with full name as first line into the

be
(never a good thing).
Well if somebody thinks of something, let me know.
