Hi,
I would like to copy four items on the clipboard into textboxes on an open
Outlook form, but I can't see how to handle all four of them. Copying the
first of them works OK. But how to move on and put say, the second clipboard
item into TextBox2 and the third into TextBox3 etc?
The background is as follows: I 'm researching in a scientific database for
interesting papers. When I find one, I want to grab the authors name and
Email address, the title of the paper and the name of the journal in which
it appeared. I then approach the author for more details via a standard
mail with the four items dropped in at the right places using the Outlook
form. I can drag them from the database to my open form but this is a
devilish piece of work that shouldn't be necessary in this day and age,
especially when there are a number of them to be done.
So the problem is how to get clipboardItem(1) into TextBox1.text,
clipboardItem(2) into TextBox2.text, clipboardItem(3) into TextBox3.text
etc?
BTW I can always copy to the clipboard in the same order i.e. Title of Paper
will always be clipboardItem(1) and so on.
Can anyone help with this?

Gordon Filby.
