The original question was 'So how can I copy the value of this string to the
clipboard?'

Where is the matching ClipGetText?

Which is simpler
ClipPutText MyString
Or
Clipboard.SetText "Jim D"
Answer: they are both real simple. But In the first case all you need is
the code for the ClipPutText routine stashed away in a module, which you can
then treat as a black box, and in the second case you have to distribute a
DLL and ensure that it gets registered properly (assuming the user has
privileges to register DLLs). I know which way I would go! :-)

If you have VB and don't mind shipping a dll with your app it's much
simpler.

Clipboard.SetText "Jim D"
Me.Text1.Text = Clipboard.GetText

Hi Bruce:
I have some code that I have been using for years, mostly for debugging
purposes. It just copies a string up into the clip board and it doesn't look
as ugly as the code from Terry Kreft.
The following code resides in a miodule declaration area:
<code>
'Whole bunch of APIs which allow text to be copied to clipboard... Private
Declare Function OpenClipboard Lib "User32" (ByVal hWnd&) As Long Private
Declare Function EmptyClipboard Lib "User32" () As Long Private Declare
Function GetClipboardData Lib "User32" (ByVal wFormat&) As Long Private
Declare Function SetClipboardData Lib "User32" (ByVal wFormat&, _
ByVal hMem&) As Long
Private Declare Function CloseClipboard Lib "User32" () As Long ' Private
Declare Function GlobalAlloc Lib "kernel32" (ByVal wFlags&, _
ByVal dwBytes&) As Long
Private Declare Function GlobalLock Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hMem&) As Long
Private Declare Function GlobalUnlock Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hMem&) As Long '
Private Declare Function lstrcpy Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpString1 As Any, _
ByVal lpString2 As Any) As Long
</code>
And the remainder is place in a module's function area:
<code>
Public Sub ClipPutText(lsText As String)
' Stores text on the clipboard
Dim hMem As Long
Const GHND = &H42
hMem = GlobalAlloc(GHND, Len(lsText) + 1)
lstrcpy GlobalLock(hMem), lsText
If GlobalUnlock(hMem) = 0 Then
If OpenClipboard(0&) <> 0 Then
EmptyClipboard
SetClipboardData 1, hMem
CloseClipboard
End If
End If
End Sub
</code>
And it can be called from anywhere; forms, reports or modules like so:
ClipPutText MyString 'Place the string 'MyString into the clipboard
HTH
Jim

This must! be simple.
I have a string variable created by concatenating the values of several form
fields. So how can I copy the value of this string to the clipboard?
Private Sub Command35_Click()
Dim refstr As String
refstr = "RCRef=|" & Me.ucref & "|" & Me.testname & "|" & Me.TestID &
"|"
Debug.Print refstr
Stop
':-( Runcmd accmdStickTheStringInTheClipboard :-(
End Sub
