Try it once more and watchout for Debra's first step:

If the database is on Sheet1 and you would like to extract data to Sheet2:
1.Go to Sheet 2

If you start on that receiving sheet, you'll find it works.

Hi Gord

Using Excel 2002 SP2 I getr the message box "You can only copy data to the

But this has to be on the active sheet.

You can list the uniques on another worksheet.

See Debra Dalgleish's instructions.......

I need a code that will take all the unique entries in
column A Sheet 1 and list them in column 1 Sheet 2.
