I use a custom function for an SAP application that pushes data to a database:
=PutCtData("PKAMOUNT","AMOUNT",A1:A5,)

As soon as this function is included in a spreadsheet, regardless of whether
I am connected to the database or not, I can only paste once after copying
(vs. typically being able to paste as many times as I want to before the
clipboard is cleared). It's as if the 'calculate' F9 function is being run
after each paste.

Another similar formula to pull from the database does not cause this problem
=GetCtData("PKAMOUNT","AMOUNT",A1:A5,)

Any suggestions on how to deactivate this, or why it would arise?

I'm guessing it's going through some code when you paste something on your
sheet. Can you verify that?

Hi Barb

No, there is no code. I simply copy any cell / cells in the workbook
(Ctrl-C) and paste elsewhere (Ctrl-P) and then I cannot paste again. If I
right-click, the paste option will be greyed out.

Thanks

Barb, I didn't read that carefully enough. I am not using code, but there
must be code causing this. When I open Excel, it adds the application add-in
item to my toolbar automatically. I don't, unfortunately, have access to
this code. If that's the problem, I'm back to sending the case to SAP.

I was hoping there may be a setting I could change.

Thanks

Hi Annie,

Do one thing:
Click on start button - Run and in the text box write CLIPBRD.

This will open your system's clip board.

Now do the copy activity and see if the information is available in the
clipboard. Now paste it some where and then recheck clipboard.


I think SAP's components or something else is interfering in between.

Imp:- Are you not using the enter key to paste the copied info instead of
Ctrl-V or paste button.

Hitting enter for pasting a value actually makes pasting unavailable for
second time.

Did you mean Ctrl-V instead of Ctrl-P ?
