    Copying file to Clipboard

    I am trying to copy a file onto the clipboard but I am not having any
    success. Perhaps someone can help me out.
    I have the full file name from my application and to put it onto the
    clipboard I have tried:

    Clipboard.SetDa taObject(New DataObject(Data Formats.FileDro p, myFileName),
    True)

    where myFileName is a string and contains the full path name of the file.
    When I retrieve a 'FileDrop' type data from the clipboard the object is an
    array so I also tried:

    Dim myFileData as String() = {myFileName}
    Clipboard.SetDa taObject(New DataObject(Data Formats.FileDro p, myFileData),
    True)

    but niether of these work. Can some please tell hoe I should do it.

    Thanks
    Fred
