Hi All, I'm writing to report problems with writeClipboard when you have an SPSS running. I use writeClipboard to move data between R and Excel for my excel tools. Noticed, it transfers just a few first lines when I have SPSS opened in the background sometimes. My colleagues reported the same behaviour on several occasions. Closing SPSS solves the problem. Just FYI. But I'm curious if someone else has the same problem. Win 11 Different versions of R Run R script with Rscript Concurrent SPSS license VPN on. Regards, Sergiy
Problems with writeClipboard while SPSS is opened

Please report to IBM/SPSS that SPSS changes the clipboard behaviour, there is nothing we can do when SPSS causes issues. Best, Uwe Ligges
