VB Code:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText Text1.Text
End Sub

will copy the contents of text1 to the clipboard.

I have found that if the clipboard already has text in it VB wont do anything...

You are right, you need the clear otherwise .settext does nothing.
