Worksheet_Activate event clears clipboard?
 

Hi All,

I am using the worksheet_activate and worksheet_deactivate events to turn on
and off Excels automatic calculation so that when I select "Sheet_1" it
turns calculate on and off when the sheet is deselected.

The problem is that using the events in this way appears to clear the
clipboard. As a result I am unable to manually paste data to Sheet_1.

How would I get around this?

I am using the application.calculation = xlManual to turn off and on
calculation.

Thanks in advance

Andi

It would be difficult. If performing an action causes an adverse situation,
then the work around is to avoid the action. In this case, I think you
might have to give something up. You are correct that many actions
performed by macros cause the clipboard to be cleared.

Does it clear the windows clipboard or just deactivate cutcopymode in excel?

CutCopyMode for sure - but that is usually what someone is doing when they
copy in Excel.

So you could still paste into excel but use PasteSpecial to specify ho (ie
xlvalues?).

You will have to test it if you want the authoritative answer for your
situation.
