Clipboard appears to "fill up" in Access 2007

[Guest]

When programming in Access 2007 I use the clipboard to cut and paste between
applications (VB and Access). This works for a while but then the clip board
seems to get "filled up" and I get error messages that the clipboard cannot
be opened or I am out of memory (there is still plenty). If I try to launch
"clipbrd" I get stuck and have to use task manager to end the procedure. The
problem seems to be specific to Access 2007; within VB or other applications,
the clipboard still works. Any thoughts?....Thank you.

I haven't had that problem, but I noticed that Vista with Office 2007 uses a
significant amount of memory. A 2 GB machine will often use 80% of the
memory and 65% of the cpu. If you are using the minimum reommended RAM, you
could be at the limit.

Arvin,

I'm running under Windows XP with 2GB of RAM and a dual core processor.
According to the Task Manager, I'm nowhere near using up that RAM. I thought
I might have missed some setting in Office 2007.

Sometimes the out-of-memory error is misleading. I've gotten this error when
an Access form has some corruption. In some cases I've gotten this error in
Access 2007 with a form that works fine in Access 2003.

Paul,

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply to such an old post. I am not just
getting this clipboard out-of-memory for forms. I mainly use the clipboard to
copy pieces of VBA code or to copy field names from tables. The only
application that gives the error is Office 2007 (usually Access 2007). I can
immediately go to another application like VB6 and the copy works fine. I am
wondering what it is about Access (or Office) 2007?

Sorry Richard, I don't have any good ideas. I'm still developing in Access
2003, and only deploying to some clients with Access 2007. The only work I'm
doing in Office 2007 is testing when a client has a problem.

I'm currently having the same problem (access 2007). i have users pasting
from Access to a web based program (using remote desktop, windows server 2005
and windows xp). currently looking for a solution also.
