Clipboard

[Guest]

I have some code that copies text out of files to the clipboard and then
pastes it in another location. The data is used to set up a keyword file for
later use. Sometimes the file I'm searching has no usable text, so nothing is
copied. Since the clipboard is still full the old text gets re-pasted in the
new location.

How can I empty the clipboard programmatically?

One way is to use the Windows API function EmptyClipboard. There's an
example of its use at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0049.htm , or in
the API Guide at http://www.allapi.net
