Save Copy or Cut Reference
 

When a macro or an event is run, often CutCopyMode is set to FALSE (lost).
Has anyone put together any code that saves this information? I'd like to
wrap my existing Worksheet_Activate event with something that saves or
re-enables CutCopyMode with the previous reference so that users can bring
data into a new form.

Thanks,

hi
use a variable instead of copy(to the clipboard)
'note: string = text, long = nondecimal number, single or double = decimal
number
'look up data types in vb help
dim rng as string ' declare your variable
Set rng = Range("A1").value 'set the value of the variable
vb will hold the variable untill the sub ends then poof. gone.
this avoids the clipboard all togeather.

hope this helps

Sorry, I must not have been specific enough. I'm talking about range or
other objects. For example, say I want to copy a column of cells to a
worksheet that contains an _Activate event. It is likely that the reference
to the copy range will be lost in that time.

I was hoping that someone had something coded that I could call like this:

private sub Worksheet_Activate
call StoreCutCopyMode()
'... code here
call RestoreCutCopyMode()
end sub

If I come up with anything, I will be sure to share it here.
