Hi Bruno,

I know from your posts, especially elsewhere, that you are an avid proponent
of abbreviation, especially the square bracket syntax.

If you are not aware, you may find the following MS Knowledge Base article
of interest:

'Square Bracket Notation Is Less Efficient Than Tunneling'

i need to clarify. the top code in original message does NOT work, while
the bottom code does work. i have found a way to get the top to work, but
not sure why it works. i did the following to get the one line code to
work:
Sheets("sheet1").Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(3, 3)) =
Range(Sheets("sheet2").Cells(1, 1), Sheets("sheet2").Cells(3, 3)).Value

while the following does not work:
Sheets("sheet1").Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(3, 3)) =
Sheets("sheet2").Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(3, 3)).Value

Try this:
Sheets("Sheet6").[N24:P26] = Sheets("Sheet2").[H238:J240].Value
or this:
Sheets("Sheet6").Range("N24:P26") =
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("H238:J240").Value

They both work with Excel 2003
