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 seems to be much worse now. 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 |

Message: 'Cannot empty clipboard'
Once Excel is open have you used Tools - Customise and then select Clipboard,
the Clipboard toolbar will open and then you can select the delete icon. This will clear the Excel clipboard "Terry Pinnell" wrote: Using Excel 2000 I'm constantly getting the message "Cannot empty clipboard" whenever I copy the contents of a cell to another.

Well, I don't want the Clipboard Toolbar displayed, but next time this occurs I'll turn it on and try Delete as you suggest. However, why would that work when emptying the entire clipboard using Clipboard Viewer didn't? Anyone else ever get this message? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |
