Not one I know of. I searched hoping to find one but couldn't:)

>>Has anyone seen this before? I had a piece of code like:
>>
>>
>>LOCAL ox,lnDefault,lcData
>>TEXT TO m.lcData Noshow
>>h1,h2,h3,h4,h5
>>p1,1,2,3,4
>>p2,1,2,3,4
>>ENDTEXT
>>_cliptext = CHRTRAN(m.lcData,',',CHR(9))
>>
>> *** set the LOCALEID to English
>> nlLocaleId=sys(3004)
>> =sys(3006,1033)
>> ox = CREATEOBJECT('Excel.Application')
>> WITH ox
>> .WorkBooks.Add
>> With .ActiveWorkBook.ActiveSheet
>> .Range('A1').PasteSpecial
>>* ...
>>
>>This application has been working for many years w/o any errors on hundreths of sites so far.
>>Yesterday I got a support request with error message attached:
>>"Unable to get PasteSpecial property of the range class"
>>
>>Few hours ago I connected to the site to see it there (happens on a single computer). I discovered I could reproduce it:
>>
>>-Open notepad (no excel is running)
>>-Type blah blah and copy
>>-Paste to verify there is something copied
>>-Open excel
>>-Clipboard data is lost (Edit\Paste is disabled, Ctrl+V doesn't do anything)
>>
>>I was lucky that I could show them this happens w/o my application running.
>>Thinking of faulty hardware,virus,faulty excel installation and alike.
>>
>>If you ever have seen this and know why happens I'd appreciate.
>>PS: XlStart is empty, no startup macro I could find.
>>TIA
