Give this a try...

Sub Main()
Dim wksTo As Worksheet
Dim wksFrom As Worksheet

Set wksFrom = ActiveSheet
Set wksTo = Sheets.Add
wksFrom.Cells.Copy wksTo.Range("A1")

wksTo.Select
wksTo.Columns("A:H").Select ' this line is where it screws up

End Sub

It defines the sheets that we are working with explicitly, which may have
been your problem...

Ok... This should be simple enough. Basically the Macro grabs the
entire contents of a sheet, creates a new sheet in the workbook, and
then tries to manipulate that new sheet.

Problem is, 50% of the time, a 1004 Error occurs when it begins to
makes changes to the new sheet.

Here's the relevant code:

Sub Main
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Paste
Columns("A:H").Select ' this line is where it screws up
<-----rest of code irrelevant / snipped-----
End Sub

The macro literally dies the 5th line into the code (sometimes).

Suggestions??? Any help will be greatly appreciated. As I stated,
sometimes it runs like a scalded dog. Other times it dies there.

Thanks,
