Copy and Paste in the Text Box prompt

[sweety pie]

Hello all
I am a gr8 follower of this group and I really appreciate the forum for their services,
I have an issue with the prompt pages.Iam using cognos 8.4 version on IE 8.0. When I run a report, the cognos viewer prompt page comes up with a textbox prompt. The requirement here is to have
the right click option in the text box prompt to paste the values into it. when I copy something from word or excel sheet and trying to paste in the text box prompt using righclick-paste, its not popping up, but it works for ctvl c and ctrl v or (ctrl c and edit menu-paste.) I noticed that on the cognos viewer the right click is completely disabled. Is there any way that i can make this work out.
Can you guys share some info regarding this issue.
The customer previously used cognos 8.1 on IE6.0 , and they have this right click option working fine
but its not working on my new cognos version.
I really appreciate any of your responses in this regard , please help me out as it is kind of urgent.

thank you

I m using Cognos 8.4 with IE6 and the text box prompts are working fine ( rt. click and ctrl C/ctrl V - both are working ).

So, i reckon it is some issue with IE8.

Hi,

Looking on the IBM support site, the 8.4 release is certified with IE7.0, IE6 SP2 and IE6 SP1.

If you need to guarantee things will work properly, you need to upgrade to 8.4.1, which has active support for IE8.
