The Table control is not editable and therefore you can't paste any text.
There is an editable table here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/code-samples-tips/2609-editable-table-device-desktop.html

The other options in this menu are default windows options.
If you like you can create your own context menu and use it instead of this one.

thanks for quick reply really appreciate such quick backup and response

ok i've used the context code with my table substituting the 'textbox1' with 'table1' in the addcontextmenu instruction but the table didn't do anything changed it back to 'textbox1' which worked as expected within the text box . It looks as though the table control paste doesn't work or should i have seen a different drop down menu in the table ???

used the editable table which seems to work ok !!
have got a lot of work to do in understanding the code so that i completley understand what going on

many thanks and please forgive my ignorance

The normal Table control is not editable, so you can't paste anything in it.

The Editable table code is pretty complex. I will later rewrite it as a separate module to make it simpler to add it to any project.
