You right! Since I hide the formula bar on certain sheets, the workbook
deactivate uses Application.DisplayFormulaBar to show the formula bar on the
newly active workbook. It is this action that must be preventing the paste
feature on the Edit menu. However, if Office clipboard is open, then this is
not the case and the values are available for pasting. Odd?

Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to copy values from one workbook that contains code, to a new
workbook that does not contain code. Both workbooks in one instance of Excel.

I did not included code to clear the clipboard, but perhaps some of my code
is causing this un-intentionally. Can you identify code that could cause this?

Are you running any code in the workbooks? Code can clear the clipboard.
other than that are you working with two workbooks in one instance of Excel
or are you working with two instances of Excel? That will cause some
difficulties with copy and paste...

I have an Excel Application that works as expected. However, I am unable to
copy and paste data into another workbook. I thoughts as to what's causing
this?
