    Post store contents of entire column as string

    Hi everyone,

    my vba skills are limited as i am just starting to learn, what i am trying to do is get my script to store contents of every cell in column H (separated by a new line) as a string.

    this is so that i can then pass this string to a new outlook appointment.

    that is, lets assume column H looks like this

    H
    1 Title
    2 ITEM1
    3 ITEM2
    4 ITEM3
    5 ITEM4
    6 ITEM5
    7 ITEM6
    8 ITEM7

    i would like ITEM1 and onwards down the column to be stored in one string

    your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Place attached code in a module
    NOTE! a string it self does have a limit to number of characters, so if you have a LOT of items, you should concider another approach.

    tip: if you're just starting to learn VBA, I suggest that you set a breakpoint at "Sub toClipboard" (F9)
    then start the macro and hit F8 for each line of code. - Then you'll see what each line does and you will learn a lot. (you can even mouse over variables to see what their content is.)
