Libby,

 

Select both the object to be clipped and the single/compound path that clips it, then apply the mask (you can use Ctrl/Cmd+7).

 

It seems that you have only selected either; if one of them is locked, unlock it.

 

You can look in the Layers palette with the Layer expanded to make sure what you are doing if you are uncertain.

Please show your art. Most importantla: the screenshot has to contain the layers panel.
