Hello. This is my first post here, so here goes.
I am running an automated macro spreadsheet that every minute or so copies data using the clipboard and pastes it. If before it gets pasted, I use the clipboard to copy something in an other spreadsheet, or other software copies something using the clipboard at the same time, the clipboard contents can get corrupted.
Is there any way to protect the clipboard contents from other programs using the same clipboard area at the same time?
I am assuming there is only one clipboard per computer? What about isolating a program and its clipboard use to a separate core perhaps? (Maybe I am dreaming there...).
I know there are many ways to copy and paste without using the clipboard, but that would make rewritting "a lot" of code. Clipboard protection for each Excel program running would be easier. If there is such a thing.
Thanks. - Chuck
