Brian,

This is a simple exanmple I created for you

Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()

'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

End Sub

'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub

'Required by the Windows Form Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.
'Do not modify it using the code editor.

Me.Menu = Me.MainMenu1
Me.Name = "Form1"
Me.StartPosition =
System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen

Me.ResumeLayout(False)

End Sub

#End Region

Private Sub MenuItem2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem2.Click
Application.Exit()
End Sub

Private Sub MenuItem4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem4.Click
If TextBox1.SelectedText <> "" Then
Clipboard.SetDataObject(TextBox1.SelectedText)
End If
End Sub

Private Sub MenuItem5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem5.Click
Dim iData As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
If iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) Then
TextBox2.Text = CType(iData.GetData(DataFormats.Text), String)
End If
End Sub
End Class

I hope this helps,
