He can cut it just fine, but when he tries to paste it he gets an error message, "Cannot Empty the Clipboard." Jerry wonders what causes this error. This has been a problem in Excel for some time. (Actually, the problem seems to crop up in several different Office applications, not just Excel.) The solutions for the problem depend upon what is causing the problem and which version of Excel you are using. As an example, here are two different articles at the Microsoft Knowledge Base that address the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/196620 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899266 Note that the articles are focused on entirely different versions of Excel and entirely different causes. Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn't seen fit to create a "here's how to fix it" article that addresses the wider range of potential causes. There are, however, resources available on the wider Internet t

This has been the best solution I have found to get rid of the "cannot empty the clipboard error" in Excel 2007 & 2010. Delete the Skype add-on in IE and/or Firefox and good-bye annoying error! In reply to rjacobs7 post on February 28, 2011 Cannot clear clipboard error - Windows 7, Excel 2010 - This error occurs nearly every time a drag and drop of cell contents is attempted. I've had this same error over the past 10 years on older computers and older versions of Windows and Office. It has now reoccurred with a new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit and Office 2010. The issue can be replicated only if a browser - IE or Firefox - is open at the same time that Excel is open. Having Word and/or Outlook open at the same time will not cause the problem to occur unless a browser is also open. This error is extremely irritating and no solutions from Microsoft or other posts on this issue resolve it. I have a solution - at least for me! Delete the Skype add-in in IE and Firefox and the "cannot clear clipboard" error after a drag and drop goes away when IE and/or Firefox are running. Apparently some
8, 2005. Bucky Guest If you use remote desktop/terminal services, you may have seen the "cannot empty the clipboard" error. Then you cannot do anymore cutting and pasting. There have been many posts about this in the past, and I've seen suggestions about MS hotfixes, uninstalling Office, etc., but I haven't seen this solution, which worked for me: Go to Task Manager > Processes Look for "rdpclip.exe" End that process This is for the case where cutting and pasting works fine at first, but after a lot of cutting and pasting, you get the "cannot empty the clipboard" error. Bucky, Apr 8, 2005 #1 Advertisements Guest Guest I have exactly the same problem, and I use remote desktop, but the "rdpclip.exe" process was not running on my computer.

Re: Go to Task Manager => Processes Look for "rdpclip.exe" End that process JAPinso, Jan 17, 2008 #3 Abter Joined: Sep 3, 2008 Likes Received: 0 THANKS. This fixed my problem, which has plagued me for over a year. NOTE: I found rdpclip.exe running on my remote computer, not my "main", or host, computer. To get to Task Manager on the remote computer, switch to that computer, and then hit CTRL-ALT-END (instead of CTRL-ALT-DEL). That will let you control the processes on the remote computer, instead of the host computer.
