CLEARING THE CLIPBOARD !!!

[jay dean]

Hi - I am using Chip Pearson's code below to clear the clipboard. I have
assigned it to a form's command control and when I compile, I get "Only
comments may appear after End Sub, End Function, or End property."

What am I doing wrong? Below is how I am using the code:

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

Private Declare Function OpenClipboard Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long)
As Long
Private Declare Function EmptyClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function CloseClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long

''''Sub ClearClipboard()
OpenClipboard (0&)
EmptyClipboard
CloseClipboard
''''End Sub

End Sub

Those Declare statements cannot be placed inside of a Sub (or Function)
procedure... they must go in the <General><Declaration> section of the code
window (look at the two drop down boxes at the top of the code window) and,
if there were any constants (Const statements) associated with the Declare
statements, they too should go in the <General><Declaration> section of the
code window as well.

Private Declare Function OpenClipboard Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long)
As Long
Private Declare Function EmptyClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function CloseClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

''''Sub ClearClipboard()
OpenClipboard (0&)
EmptyClipboard
CloseClipboard
''''End Sub

End Sub
