    '* DESCRIPTION:     Creates a standard Picture object from whatever is on the clipboard.
    '*                  This object can then be assigned to (for example) and Image control
    '*                  on a userform.  The PastePicture function takes an optional argument of
    '*                  the picture type - xlBitmap or xlPicture.
    '*
    '*                  The code requires a reference to the "OLE Automation" type library
    '*
    '*                  The code in this module has been derived from a number of sources
    '*                  discovered on MSDN.
    '*
    '*                  To use it:
    '*                      Set Image1.Picture = PastePicture(xlPicture)
    '*                  to paste a picture of whatever is on the clipboard into a standard image control.
    '*
    '* PROCEDURES:
    '*   PastePicture   The entry point for the routine
    '*   CreatePicture  Private function to convert a bitmap or metafile handle to an OLE reference
    '*   fnOLEError     Get the error text for an OLE error code
