I'm trying to access the clipboard via a macro. I'm using the vanilla code shown in the docs to do this:

Dim iClipboardData As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()

However, iClipboardData keeps getting set to Nothing. Clipboard.GetDataObject() isn't returning an object reference. I'm positive that there is something on the clipboard. Is this something funky with testing from a macro? Or am I misunderstanding how this should work (eg. is the "System" clipboard something completely different than the clipboard used by every other Windows app?)

Thanks,
