Notes
- When you copy a record, everything is copied except data in container fields. Data is copied in tab-delimited format, in the order the fields appear on the layout.
- You can copy and paste the contents of individual cells in Table View. You can't copy and paste the contents of multiple cells, but you can copy the current record or found set to the Clipboard.
