Working with options from within Tools Options clears the Clip
Tom,
I thought that was the case, but didn't want to say so until I'd proved
otherwise.
Anyway, the problem's now been solved, thanks to your EnableEvents tip.
Off to Glastonbury for a well earned rest for a couple of days now, leaving
behind a fully working code-compromise-free solution (bet it will have
crashed when I get back, though! :-) )
Have a good weekend

One go doesn't mean one command. Paste Special requires two commands
(separate copy and paste), but they should be contiguous in your code.

Tom,
Following your advice, I'm going to see if I can do a copy and paste
special
in one go, as I've never done it before.
However, your other post about enableevents=false solved this problem
anyway, as since I'm now no longer running the window view changes. I
don't
lose the contents of the clipboard!" :-)
Once again, thanks for your help

If you do them with no intermediate steps, then I am not sure how that
differentiates your situation from what I advised. I have never had any
trouble doing that (following my advice).

Tom,
I agree, except that I'm not doing a straight pasts, trather I'm
having to
do two paste specials, one for values and one for formats, so it's not
that
easy.
Thanks for your thoughts

In code and manually, it is best to do the copy and paste as one
set of
actions with no intermediate actions.
As to why, I would imagine that Excel errs on the side of caution in
assuming that almost any action outside of pasting could change the
environment of what was copied.

Good afternoon,
Can anyone tell me why when, if I copy something to the Clipboard,
then
try
to change a setting to something like scroll bars, worksheet tabs,
formula
bar etc, the clipboard empties?
This works in "normal" Excel, as well as VBA - do a copy, then
select
"Tools" and "Options" from the menu, and the carousel line around
the
selection disappears!
It's causing me MAJOR problems - I'm using 2003 on XP
Thanks
Pete
