VB copy a text box

I have a text box and a command button. I want to command button to
select the contents of the text box and copy it to the clipboard so
that i can paste it in another program. Here is the code that i have
for the command button so far. The setfocus is the command i am using
to select all.

Private Sub Command300_Click()
MCX_Name.SetFocus
End Sub

Thanks
Matt

You don't need to set focus to the textbox. Just something like this:

Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText MCX_Name.Text
