I'm trying to use 'Dim myobj As New DataObject' in VBA to access clipboard,
but VBA won't recognize 'DataObject', which is available in MicroSoft Forms
2.0 object library. can't find MS Forms 2.0 object library in
tools/reference list.

You need to have a reference to the Microsoft Forms library.

Try using the Browse button to select c:\windows\system32\FM20.DLL

Try adding a form to your project, then look again for the reference.
If still no luck then try browsing to...
C:\ Windows \ System32 \ FM20.dll

For me, it appears near the top of the list.

But a quick way to create a reference to that library is to add a userform to
your workbook's project.

You can delete it later if you don't need it.
