In VB6 I can get the (text) contents of the system clipboard within my app
Debug.Print Clipboard.GetText
I can't seem to do this in VBA. Is there a way to get the clipboard text
into my procedures?

Hi Charlie,

It's a bit more convoluted and not as flexible, but you can do it in VBA
by setting a reference to the Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library (which is
set automatically if you add a UserForm to your project) and doing something
like this:

Dim objDataObject As MSForms.DataObject
Set objDataObject = New MSForms.DataObject
objDataObject.GetFromClipboard
Debug.Print objDataObject.GetText
