Deleting the clipboard contents!!!


Posted by SWallace on December 20, 2001 4:34 AM

Here's my problem. I've gotten together a really useful Macro to open all workbooks in a dir and copy out the relevant cells pasting them in succession into
the new workbook so I can work with the figures there.
however when I get the macro to close files when its finished I get the message box " there is a large amount of info on the clipboard......" after each file is sent the close command , which stops the macro until the box is clicked. Does anyone know how I can prevent this ?

Cheers in advance

Heres a possible solution:
Just finish off the macro with a command that tells it to copy a single charachter to the clip board stored in a cell e.g. put a letter x in a cell out of the way somewhere and finish the macro with

Range("yourcell").Select
Selection.Copy

That way it won't think it's got a large content??

Application.CutCopyMode=False

You could put this code before the macro:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
