Place Image File into the ClipBoard

[ions]

Hello Access Expert,

I would like to place an image file located at e.g. "C:\MyImages\image.png" into the clipboard. I have not been able to figure out how to do this. I have been able to place Text into the Clipboard using the DataObject late binding sub below.

Thank you

Public Sub PutInClipBoard(strString As String)

    Const DATAOBJECT_BINDING As String = "new:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}"
 
    With CreateObject(DATAOBJECT_BINDING)
        .SetText strString
        .PutInClipBoard
    End With

End Sub

Why.

The image is perfectly happy being outside the database and then referential coding to render the image.

Simon,

I would like the image in the clipboard. I have a good reason for it.

Thank you.
