Probably because mysht is not the active sheet and the Cells property points
to the active sheet. Try

mySht.Range(mySht.Cells(5, 1), mySht.Cells(endRow, 1)).Copy

I was just wondering why this line of code works:

mySht.Range("A5:A" & endRow).Copy

while this one produces runtime error 1004

mySht.Range(Cells(5, 1), Cells(endRow, 1)).Copy
