Message: Cannot empty clipboard
Using Excel 2000 I'm constantly getting the message "Cannot empty
clipboard" whenever I copy the contents of a cell to another. Even happens directly after using Start Accessories Clipboard Viewer to delete contents, after which there should presumably not BE any clipboard contents! Anyone know what causes this please? It's been happening spasmodically for years, but today seems permanent, Google turns up scores or hundreds of threads, many apparently covering networked situations (involving Terminal Services, whatever that is!) but I'm just a standalone user. And so far I've found no reliable solution or method of isolating the cause. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

I have a feeling this has less to do with Excel and more to do with an "undocumented feature" in the Windows OS. |

Did you ever try this...
