Default Clipboard clear

Try this ...


Public Declare Function OpenClipboard Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As
Long
Public Declare Function EmptyClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long
Public Declare Function CloseClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long
Public Function ClearClipboard()
OpenClipboard (0&)
EmptyClipboard
CloseClipboard
End Function

When I compile the code below (in Access 2003) I get an error at this line
:

OpenClipboard Application.hwnd

The error I get is "method or data member not found"

What is causing this ????????

Sorry, that should be:

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function OpenClipboard Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long)
As
Long
Private Declare Function CloseClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function EmptyClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long

Sub ClearClipboard()
OpenClipboard Application.hwnd
EmptyClipboard
CloseClipboard
End Sub

The clipboard has to be opened first and then closed after clearing it.

Is there any way to clear the clipboard in a macro run? I've been
having
strange programmatic freezes after a long series of cut/paste/select
operations (see previous post by me) and I thought that it might help
force a
clear of the clipboard periodically.

Also, can anyone suggest another resource for help when no one inthis
forum
has a suggestion for solving Excel programming problems?
Thanks,
