Gentle Users,

My VB6 application programmatically uses EXCEL. Every time I direct it
to Copy to Clipboard, it wipes out All contents of the Clipboard. This
fact is well known from discussions in the ms.public groups.
Apparently, it not acceptable behavior for an app to replace contents
of the clipboard with out asking the users permission. I copy to
clipboard so frequently, that asking-for permission is out of the
question.
Backing up and restoring the clipboard is, of course, the answer, but
there seems to be so many data types that programming it myself
appears beyond my capabilities.

My 2 questions a
I am looking for a dll to include in my app that saves and restores
the clipboard on command.
1. Does anyone know of such a product?
Failing that, I suppose that I will have to put out a request for
programmers to bid on it.
2.Has anyone had experience with programmers-bidding for jobs from the
far corners of the internet?
