Terminal Services session and Excel 2003

[Guest jmanuel]

I don't know where to post this, but figured I'd start here...

A user accesses a Windows 2000 Server thru Terminal Services and has to copy

and paste information from that server onto an excel spreadsheet on the

user's desktop, which is Excel 2003. However w/several attempts, an error

message would appear, "Cannot Empty the Clipboard" and the user would act by

cleaning out his Clipboard but doesn't appear to resolve the issue. the user

has found that disconnecting from session and logging back in helps buy some

time--but I'm sure as time goes by it has become an inconvenience.

 

If I have posted this in the wrong area, please guide me in the right

direction I could use some help because I do not know what to do for this

user.

 

Thank you in Advanced.

 

If there is additional spec's needed, please let me know.

This is a fairly common problem with the clipboard viewer chain.

For an excellent explanation of the problem as well as some

troubleshooting tips, check:
