Thanks bob, that worked. Just swapped the pastespecial and paste round.
Thanks again. Q: is there a way can protect the information that I have
copied across?? If I protect the cells, it wont allow pasting. The
information is selected via a dropdown list and I cant protect the cells is
references (or can i???)

Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("A9,B9").Copy

sh.Cells(rw, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Hi Gav,

Not sure I have got it all but change these lines

Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("A9,B9").Copy _
Destination:=sh.Cells(rw, 1)

To

Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("A9,B9").Copy
sh.Cells(rw, 1).Paste PasteSpecial:=xlPasteValues

hi again, another question. With the following code, i would like only
the
text within a cell to copy. At the moment, the cell being copied has a
white
background but is pasting to a sheet with a grey background. I would
like
the background to remain grey and not copy to white as it does. Any
suggestions???????? Thank you!!!
