Message: [QUOTE="softie, post: 6355057"] 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 are: 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? tia softie [/QUOTE]
