What is on the clipboard? This code expects only text data in the clipboard (CF_TEXT). If the clipboard contains an image, you'll get an error. It may be that a try/except is appropriate here. The text of the error is a bit misleading. Error code 183 is ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS. That doesn't necessarily involve a file at all. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
