Default How to lock the clipboard

I have a VB app that creates an instance of Excel, and then intensively gets
Excel to copy and paste data between worksheets. The problem that I have is
that whilst this is going on (for about 5 minutes), if the user copies data
in another application, then that data is pasted into Excel instead of the
data that was intended.

How can Excel 'lock' the clipboard between the Copy and Paste commands so as
to ensure that this does not happen?
