After testing the code placed in the comment, I realized that Immediate Window was not really clean. While there were many lines in the Immediate Window, only the top lines were excluded.

The code below seems to solve the problem.

Sub ClearImmediateWindow()
SendKeys “^g ^{HOME}”
DoEvents
SendKeys “+^{END}”
DoEvents
SendKeys “{DEL}”
End Sub

Putting it all together. The cursor back to the top of the immediate window ! Works fine in Access 2000

Sub ClearImmediateWindow()
Debug.Print String(200, 10)
SendKeys “^g ^{HOME} {F7}”
End Sub

While this doesn't actually "clear" the Immediate Window in the way one might want, it does produce an equivalent looking result which should be sufficient for most purposes...

Sub ClearImmediateWindow()
Debug.Print String(200, 10)
End Sub

I made a simple improvement that clears the Immediate windows and returns to the code windows.
Application.SendKeys "^g ^a {DEL} {F7}"

Hi JP, the reason why you may wish to clear the immediate window via code is if you have several procedures or sections of code within a procedure that have DEBUG.PRINT lines. Personally I use several lines of debug.print within my code to take note of certain values so I can check that the procedure/function is working correctly. Sometimes you may only want to concentrate on what certain actions are doing so it would be handy to clear the immediate window at some point so you only see the latest actions.

Can anyone explain why the Immediate window needs to be clear?

Why not just click anywhere in the window, press Ctrl-A and then Delete button?

Hello,

Found this thread with an internet search. Inspired me to write next code:

Sub ClearImmediateWindowNL()
'Works on PC with Dutch version menu
Application.SendKeys "%d", True
Application.SendKeys "d", True
Application.SendKeys "^a", True
Application.SendKeys "{DEL}", True
End Sub

Sub ClearImmediateWindowUS()
'Should work on PC with US version menu
Application.SendKeys "%g", True
Application.SendKeys "a", True
Application.SendKeys "^a", True
Application.SendKeys "{DEL}", True
End Sub

* Good Luck *

'My proposition is:

Public Sub ClearImmediateWindow()
Application.SendKeys "^g^a{DEL}{F7}", True
DoEvents
End Sub

'{F7} - cursor return to Code Window
'DoEvents - ending clearing ImmediateWindow before execution next code lines

this works in excel 2002

Sub ClearImmediateWindow1()

Application.SendKeys "^g", True

Application.SendKeys "{DEL}", True

End Sub
