Hi Keith,

In copy operations, if the source range and destination ranges are
differently sized, a 1004 run-time error will be generated.

Resizing the destination range to its first cell (i.e
DestinationRange.cells(1). or, more succinctly, Destnation.Range(1))
obviates this potential problem. I say potential, because if , in your
example, the currentregion areas for the source sheet and the destination
sheet are identically sized , then my defensive synrax would still work but
would be unneceessary.

Thanks Norman, your solution works; however, I am left with a question:

In your statement:

myRange1.Copy Destination:=myRange2(1)

How is myRange2(1) different from myRange2 without the "(1)" suffix?

Thanks again,

Keith

Hi Keith,

If I correctly understand your intention, try:

Set myRange1 = Workbooks(sWB1).Worksheets("Sheet1"). _
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Columns(1)

Set myRange2 = Workbooks(sWB2).Worksheets("Sheet1"). _
Range("A1").CurrentRegion

myRange2.ClearContents

myRange1.Copy Destination:=myRange2(1)

Note that is is usually unnecessary and inefficient to make selections.

what is the code for copying a range of rows and columns from one
workbook to different rows and columns in a different workbook? The last
line of code shown below results in "Runtime Error 1004,
Application-defined or object-defined error."

Workbooks(sWB1).Activate
Set myRange1 =
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Cu rrentRegion.Columns(1)
myRange1.Copy
Workbooks(sWB2).Activate
Set myRange2 =
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Cu rrentRegion
myRange2.Delete
Set myRange2 = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
myRange1.Copy (myRange2)

Thanks,

Keith
