Pasting into another application usin Excel VBA

[SystemHack]

Is there any way to paste data from the clipboard into another program
using a command button in VBA for excel ? I want to be able to paste
information from Excel to .. say ..an already open and running notepad
... without having to click over to notepad. Any idea if this is
possible ? I know those smiley programs can paste into other
applications .. just not sure if excel vba can handle it. thanks for
the help.

If you cannot create a reference to the object to which you want to paste,
you can always use the sendkeys method in Excel.

If you want to put your data in a text file, that can be done pretty easily.
(then you could open it in Notepad using the Shell command)
If you actually want to paste it in Notepad, then you can look at the
sendkeys command.
