Hi Paul,

Are you calling the GetData method of the iClipboardData object? This code works consistently for me:

Dim iClipboardData As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
MessageBox.Show(iClipboardData.GetData(DataFormats.Text))

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?)
