How to access the Clipboard

How to access the Clipboard in MS Access without using external function like the Win API. Is there a direct function of MS Access to access the content of the clipborad and copy its contant using automation.

I don't believe there is a function within access becuase the clipboard is part of windows. You will have to use win api to do this.

The following link shows you an example of the win api and sample code for a command button to enter the contents of the clipboard into a textbox.

There is an utility database that demonstrates the use of the Windows clipboard functionality in an Access database. It's called Clipboard Functions and it free to download.
