Yup, I know about these and use them for the simple history/viewer implemented in PowerPro. But there are also the com functions for the clipboard, eg olegetclipboard. Not sure what is the most general approach needed to handle any case, eg what happens if someone embeds a picture and and excel sheet in Word, and copies all that plus some formatted text to the clipboard? How do the industrial-strength clipboard history packages handle that? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
