I've seen people that complain that it doesn't always work (but I don't use the
office clipboard).

Maybe the routine at Chip Pearson's site will work:

look for: EmptyClipboard

Indeed, in 2007 Commandbars have been replaced by the "Ribbon" as the UI,
although they do still exist to some extent. However since 2003 (possibly
2002 ?) the clipboard is shown in the "Task Pane".

For all versions I think simply the following should be enough

Application.CutCopyMode = False

I thought that command bars are no longer used in 2007. Was I mistaken?

I bet you could look at one of the icons on that toolbar to see if it's
enabled,
but I'd just weasel out and do:

On error resume next
'your command
on error goto 0

Hi All......
This works fine in XL2k if there is something on the Clipboard, but
fails
with "Run time Error" if the clipboard is empty.......

CommandBars("clipboard").Controls("clear clipboard").Execute

How might I word an IF statement to check if the Clipboard is empty or
not?

TIA
