In form or report design view, cannot paste objects
I may have found a solution to this. In my Clipboard settings there is no option visible to turn on or off Suggested Actions, so I found a registry entry that will turn off the suggested actions. As soon as I added this to my registry the copy/cut/paste started working in MS Access, and I could past a subform control into a selected tab control.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SmartActionPlatform\SmartClipboard] "Disabled"=dword:00000001
Hi,

Interesting that you (only) found it in the registry. AFAIK Suggested Actions as a Windows setting is only visible in North America. Where are you located?

Access-Entwickler-Konferenz AEKI am located in Texas, but still, I don't see that setting. However, in Language & region settings I have Country Region set to United States, but regional format to English (United Kingdom).
Using United Kingdom formatting provides a better environment to design forms and reports in MS Access since it uses millimeters and not inches. In addition, all my users are in the UK, so better see the same as they do.
I had to add the registry entry as it was not present by default. I added it and copy/cut started to work. However, that was yesterday. Today Copy/Cut has again stopped working on selected form objects in Access.
