You can do it with APIs, but here's a simpler solution from Dana DeLouis:

Private Sub ClearClipboard()
Dim MyData As Object
Set MyData = New DataObject
MyData.SetText ""
MyData.PutInClipboard
End Sub

The clipboard is not technically cleared as it contains a null string, but
it should serve your purpose.

Using Excel 2002.
With the API function SetClipboardData and some other API functions it is
possible to get a variable to the clipboard and paste it. One little
problem
is that I can't make the paste symbol or FaceID disappear that shows in
the
sheet after a paste. Normally after a paste the escape key would do this.
Would there be any solution for this?
Thanks for any advice.
