please explain what is happening

[dbsquared]

I have a programming written in VB .NET 2002 and running on win XP.
I was noticing today that while the program is running the windows clipboard copy icon is showing up and disappearing in the tray. I was wondering why that is happening because in my code I never copy anything to the clipboard.

Thanks for your insight

this is the only program I have running and it only apears to be happening when my program is running. It also coinsides with my status bar when it updates the icon goes away and then reappears in a few seconds.

I really don't think you will be able to get an answer about this as we don't know what your program does and what other processes are running at the same time.

If it happens when only your program is running and when you execute a certain sub then there's where to start looking but I really don't know what else to say!

Well have you tried stepping through your code and seeing when this icon starts to appear?

I think it will be excell do you use copy or paste or cut anywhere in the code?

no I don't I just put the data from the variableon the appropriate line tehn save and exit.
my test environment is win 2k and it doesn't get the icon so I have to test on my productin which doesn't thrill me.
so I will have change code to make sure nothing gets messed with in production.
