Monitor Clipbaord

A

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

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.
