Instead of shelling out to Notepad would just copying to the clipboard work?

what I'm trying to do is highlite a row in a datagrid, then press crtl C to copy the entire row then be able to press crtl V to paste that row into anything I want. e.g. an Outlook email, maybe word etc.

Amazingly there all kinds of ways to do this in code, but like you I can't find a way to highlight the data & simply copy it.

If coding a solution is an option for you, here are two resources:

If your data grid has an underlying recordset object attached to it, then you can use that recordset's rs.GetString() method to copy the record into a string.
The use the VB.Clipboard method.
