Re: How to copy Clipboard to file?

Hi Dave.

Your question is not clear, when you say "file from the clipboard" do you
mean that the clipboard contains the data or a reference to the file name?

It doesn't contain any references (as far as I can see).

What I do:
In Excel I do Insert-Object-Create from file, no linking.

Now when I copy this object i can Ctrl-V-paste in within the explorer and
the file will be copied/created.

What I wanna do is to do this paste using code.
But the clipboardformat is not a file (IsClipboardFormatAvailable=15) like
copy a file directly wihtin Explorer, but being an embedded Object
(IsClipboardFormatAvailable=3).

If it's the former then you can do everything with the Clipboard object
built into VB6, if you are dealing with actual files then it gets a LOT
more interesting.

How would this code look like?

Thanks
Michi
