Default Error using DataObject to get clipboard data

I'm using VBA to try to get the data on the clipboard in Excel. I've found
suggestion that are variations on the following:

Dim MyData As DataObject
Set MyData = New DataObject
Dim sClipText As String
On Error GoTo NotText
MyData.GetFromClipboard
sClipText = MyData.GetText(1)

When this sub gets called in my Excel macro, I get "User Defined Type not
defined" on the first line.

Also, once this is resolved, is there a way to determine if the data on the
clipboard can be pasted into Excel (sometimes you do something in Excel that
seems to clear out the clipboard).

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
