Clear Clipboard in VB
Steve,
The problem with solution #2 is that you need a reference to the MSForms type library. In VBA, go to the Tools menu, choose References, and choose "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library". Solution #3 works in all version of Excel and Windows. Just call the ClearClipboard function. Solution #4 doesn't work in VBA because VBA doesn't have a Clipboard object like VB6 does. The problem in solution #5 is the same as in #2: you need a reference to the MSForms type library. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Steve" wrote in message ...
