Copying string from variable into user's clipboard. 1

[DSect]

Hello - I am trying to make something that copies the contents of a variable into the user's clipboard.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I'll be trying it this way until I get an answer:

1. User hits button, form pops up with info to be copied to clipboard. Onload event of form does menu item DoCmd's equal to EDIT > SELECT ALL and EDIT > COPY. Form Closes.

Let me know if there is any other way to add stuff to the clipboard. Thanks!

The key is being aware of the API functions; once that prospect has been revealed to you many more solutions become possible. Good Luck!
