Hi,

I have a VB6.0 program which is doing copy and paste data. I use
Clipboard.clear to clear the clipboard, but the data still stay in the
system clipboard and can not be deleted. Could someone know to how to
make program delete the data in system clipboard?

Thanks

Clipboard.Clear *does* clear the system clipboard. How are you detecting the
data that is not cleared? Some programs including some Office programs
implement their own clipboard and Clear would not affect them.

I open "Office Clipboard" in Excel when the program doing copy and
paste. The data goes to Excel Office Clipboard and Clipboard.clear can
not clear the data in Excel. Is there a way not make the data go to
Excel clipboard?

Thanks
