Excel Cannot Empty Clipboard

Post by philmcmannis » Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:25 pm

I've done some searching and despite finding lots of info I have not found anything relevant to my issue.

I am running a macro that copies text out of a cell in Excel and then pastes it into Internet Explorer. Randomly I will get an error message after sending Ctrl+C in Excel that says "Cannot Empty Clipboard". It then halts all access to Excel so the macro gets out of whack after that happens. Does anyone know what might be causing this? For what it's worth this script has worked fine for around 8 months and has only been having this issue once in a while over the last 1-2 mos.

Thanks in advance!
