Copy and pasting form fields from one pfd to another

Copy and pasting form fields from one pfd to another while in form editing mode has stopped working. I have done it a hundred times and then the second document suddenly stopped accepting my items from the clipboard. What happened?

I have answered my own question through trial and error.

I have been working with excel to create columns which will auto-detect using the wizard. I have then been transferring these columns into a MASTER spreadsheet.

I had been unknowingly trying to copy/paste text fields with the same name as the associated check box. It didn't give me a pop-up warning or anything so I could't figure out why it wasn't working. Hope this helps someone whom may be having the same frustration I was.

Thanks
