Lambert, I don't think you're missing the point. Apparently some people are just more easily irritated than you ;o) I just clear the clipboard after they use my icons to paste. Basically its VBA that says paste then clear. If they paste into a different app they have to deal with windows. But for the most my end users click mini-icons I add to the app. I also add shortcut menu items to do the same. I also have some copy/paste commands that format the pasted item into particular formats like phone numbers with the (nnn) nnn-nnnn format or standard label address formats etc. Little end user niceties :o) -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Heenan, Lambert Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 8:08 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Clipboard Warning Message I find this 'feature' mildly irritating too, but I see little benefit in trying to run a routine to clear the clipboard after copying data from a query result set. What the difference between, clicking the button Access displays to say "no, don't keep the clipboard contents", or (possibly) clicking a toolbar button to run a "clear the clipboard" routine? Or am I just dumb enough to be missing the point? :-) Lambert
