I tried Rory's solution and I got an error too at this line (I am using Office 2016 32 Bit)
Call oIA.accDoDefaultAction(vKid)
I have searched a lot and a lot and nothing of any solution cleared the clipboard successfully

Reset Clear ClipBoard with La légende du bouton :)
I have got the last coding suggested by Rory to work in Excel 2007
I had to add the German word, Alle löschen , which is used for the “Clear All” button. ( It is case sensitive so I had to write it exactly )Alle löschen
Clear All - Alle löschen - La légende du bouton.JPG : https://imgur.com/fhWy9bg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ( I don’t have it working in Excel 2003 yet ) Edit - see later I do have it working now

I believe it is the Office Clipboard that we are clearing:

Re: Reset Clear ClipBoard
It seems that for XL 2003 we need to use
"Task Pane"
In place of
"Office Clipboard"
I don’t have the slightest clue what most of the coding is doing, but I fiddled around a bit and got this version to work in Excels 2003, 2007 and 2010
I would be curios to know if it works for any other versions , if anyone has the time and interest to try.
You need to
_copy the entire coding to a new module
_ put anything in the clipboard, such as by highlight anything and copy with Ctrl+c
_ check you see something in it: http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic. ... 49#p246730" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , https://imgur.com/vdwgXtT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
_ Run the routine Sub ClearOffPainBouton()
If the routine works for you then something like this
BeforeClearClip.JPG : https://imgur.com/vdwgXtT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Should change to like
AfterClearClip.JPG : : https://imgur.com/1lb19tA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Alan
P.s. If you do not have “Clear All” written on your boutton, then you may need to add the text you see, where indicated in the coding.
Coding is here: https://pastebin.com/5bhqBAVx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , and in uploaded text file

Re: Reset Clear ClipBoard
@Yasser
Just a wild guess, for you to try,
Change
Application.OnTime Now
to
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")

Re: Reset Clear ClipBoard
All of this was thoroughly thrashed out in the thread https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mso ... 34b7e39482 in 2010.
One of the key points is that if you're looking at the Clipboard pane in an Office program, that's the "Office clipboard", which is separate from the "Windows clipboard". The code that uses OpenClipboard and EmptyClipboard works only on the Windows clipboard. The code that simulates a click on the Clear All button works only on the Office clipboard.

Re: Reset Clear ClipBoard
Thanks a lot. Yes you are right and I am focusing on the "Office Clipboard" and it seems that the code that simulates a click on "Clear All" button works for many versions of excel except my version 2016 32 Bit !! That's my deduction till now

Re: Reset Clear ClipBoard
Hi Jay
The stand as I see it now is that: Yasser wants to clear the Office Clipboard, and as you rightly suggest , he needs the coding to simulate a click on the “Clear All” button ( or the “Borrar todo” button, “Effacer tout” button, “ Alle löschen” button …. Or whatever you see you must add to the code to make sure that it finds the right one for your language version)
The “Clear All” click simulating coding here https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php ... 57#p246838" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is now working consistently for me on a number of different machines on Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office 2010. It seems to simulate a click on the “Clear All” or “ Alle löschen” (Office clipboard) button for me.
There are some reports of the original coding from which it came working on the higher Office versions for others also.
The remaining issue is that Yasser can’t get any versions of the “Clear All” click simulating coding to work on his Office 2016. The original coding author, Jaafar Tribak , tried to help him yesterday, https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-que ... ost5229023" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , but could not get any further as he, ( Jaafar Tribak ) , does not have access to Office 2016.

P.s. I am still not 100% clear on what everything is
_(i) What’s this?.._
Application.CutCopyMode = False
_.. I have used that a lot: It seems to empty something. Is it emptying the Excel Clipboard?? It prevents me pasting anything I copy in Excel
_(ii) Office Clipboard: I think now we all agree on what that is. We can all Clear it manually, and some of us if we are lucky can clear it with coding, ( that is to say some of us can simulate with coding en cliquant sur le bouton )
_(iii) The Windows Clipboard?? I don’t think I personally have aver “experienced that” . – Where / what is that ? How can I experience it.??
This is what seems to have been failed to have been realised time and time again, and there are a few unanswered threads like the one you mentioned which were left hanging in the air as not everybody realised the points you make. So in many previous Threads, people were talking at cross purposes half the time (I hit the thread you mentioned a few times yesterday when searching. Unfortunately that thread is closed , so we can’t update them)Jay Freedman wrote:All of this .... thrashed out in the thread ...if you're looking at the Clipboard pane in an Office program, that's the "Office clipboard", which is separate from the "Windows clipboard".

Re: Reset Clear ClipBoard
Excel has its own clipboard that is used when you copy/cut/paste within one instance of Excel. When you copy a range, the Excel clipboard holds a full copy of the range with all its Excel properties, and you get lots of options when you select Paste Special: paste all, paste values, paste formulas, paste a link, transpose...
The Windows clipboard is used by ALL Windows applications. For example, if you copy some text in Notepad, the copy is placed on the Windows clipboard, and you can paste it in all applications that support pasting text.
Another example is when you select a cell, press F2 and copy the value or formula. This is placed on the Windows clipboard as text.
When you copy a range in Excel, it is also placed on the Windows clipboard as an Excel object, so that you can paste it into other applications: for example Notepad, or MS Paint, or into a reply here. This object does not have all features of the internal Excel copy. For example, if you managed to start a second instance of Excel and selected Paste Special, you'd get fewer options than if you select Paste Special in the same instance of Excel. No paste as link, for one.
Pressing Esc in Excel or executing Application.CutCopyMode = False when a range has been copied (shown by a dashed outline around the range) clears the copy from both the Excel clipboard and the Windows clipboard.

Re: Reset Clear ClipBoard
Thanks Hans, That clears that up nicely.
I will have to have a good practice with these things.
