"cannot open clipboard"
Hmm... Your task is working fine.
"cannot open clipboard"
that's weird,
because this task just work one time. the second time, it did not work. maybe my windows is to slow. i run robotask on a virtual server. and it's slow.
anyway, thanks a lot. i will try to modify this task or find a other way around.
thanks for your help.
