Curious. When I run this code, which pastes to a much larger range, I get
no error.

Range("A1:A2").Copy
Range("A1:IV65536").PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats

|I want to copy the format of 2 cells to the rest of the worksheet using

| Here is my code with just a small destination range that works
|
| xlWs.Range("C2:C3").Select
| xlApp.Selection.Copy
| xlWs.Range("C2:W11").Select
| xlApp.Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, _
| Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
| xlApp.CutCopyMode = False
|
| When I increase the destination range from C2:W11 for example to
| C2:W3000 I get the error.
