[AccessD] How to copy from Access Grid form, without getting the column headers

Hello All,
I wonder do you know of a convienent way to catch the contents of a row in
an Access Grid, and put that data on the clipboard, without the headers.

IOW, my user wanted to copy and paste the data from the grid to an Excel
sheet, but she does not want to include the row headers in her sheet.  I
would prefer to avoid the two step approach of a) paste to a blank Excel
Sheet, and b) copy again from within Excel.

To summarise, I want the user to be able to copy a row from Access 2003, and
the data that is placed on the clipboard should contain just the 15 columns
of data, with no header information.

I can imagine two possible solutions
Solution A
A neat class that someone has already written that uses VBA to catch the
columns and programatically places the data on the clipboard, seperating
each values with tabs:  this should be a good solution I suppose

Solution B
Someone knows a secret trick, something like CTRL + 'SOMEKEY' + C, and this
trick only places the values and ignores the headers.

Thanks in advance for you assistance,


As it is my wedding anniversary on Saturday, can I wish you all a great day
if you celebrate it also for independance.
