Monitor Clipbaord

[Al Grant]

Hi Folks,



I have a dialog box that prompts a user for some information.



Unfortunately I can'nt get my dialog box to query the database so users are
having to manually re-enter the data.



Now I have the option to copy a record set from the database to the
clipboard.



I need the dialog box to monitor the clipboard for data of a given format,
ie:



Name=SMITH/John James

DOB=01/08/80



And if data of the specified format it detected, upon focus I guess, to
populate the appropriate text boxes.



Anyone got any idea how to do this?





Cheers



-Al

This sounds like doing it the hard way. If you can get the data out of the
database at all, you should be able to put it into your dialog; this is
easier than trying to work with the clipboard in VBA.
