Default VBA copying & pasting into a different workbook

Give this a whirl.. I have cleand up a number of the selects which really are
not necessary

Public Sub FillEmpty()
dim rngCopyArea as range

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Rows("1:6").Delete Shift:=xlUp

Set topcell = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown))
Set bottomcell = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, 1).End(xlToRight))

If IsEmpty(topcell) Then Set topcell = topcell.End(xlDown)
If IsEmpty(bottomcell) Then Set bottomcell = bottomcell.End(xlUp)

set rngCopyArea = Range(topcell, bottomcell)

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlManual
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Intersect(rngCopyArea , _
ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
If Trim(cell) = "" And cell.Row 1 Then
cell.NumberFormat = cell.Offset(-1, 0).NumberFormat
cell.Value = "N/A" 'cell.Offset(-1, 0).Value
End If
Next cell
Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic 'xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Call TextToNumbers
Call TextToNumbers00
Call DeleteUnecessary
Call FormatDate

ThisWorkbook.Save

Workbooks.Open "L:\IP_Sales\Reports - Daily
2006\DailyRevDownloads\Daily Workings Jul.xls"

Sheets("StaticData").Select
Sheets.Add

rngCopyArea.Copy Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

If someone could help that would be great!! I'm quite new to the whole
VBA thing!

everything on here works up until the 'activesheet.paste' part
(highlighted in red). I keep getting the error *runtime '1004' paste
method of worksheet class failed*

I'm not sure why. Basically, I have a worksheet which I have
formatted...I've copied a section of it and I want to paste that
section in a different workbook, on a new sheet. Am I totally doing the
wrong thing?
