Copy a file into the clipboard

[MarkusReich]

Hi there,  I want to copy a pdf-file from the windows explorer into the clipboard (CTRL C) and paste it in another application. "Move File" or "Copy File" from VBO "Utility - File Management" is not working because i have to paste the file in a different application. Is there an easier way to do it instead of opening and spying windows explorer, click the file, send key event CTRL C?   thank you in advance Markus

You can attach to explore.exe to spy the Windows desktop - that should allow you to send keys to Windows Explorer. Another idea is to create a new code stage to read a file path and copy the file to clipboard. Then you could use keystroke to past to the app.
