Default PasteSpecial

generally code that works intermittenly isn't problematic because of the code
per se. It is usually because the code depends on a certain environment -
and the environment changes. You could be trying to past into merged cells
or the clipboard could have gotten clear or pasting isn't an option at that
point.

You could probably check the state of the past special command button in
Edit=Pastespecial (with your code). If it is disabled, then you won't be
able to paste. You could halt and try to figure out why.

Program:
1) Copies activesheet.pastespecial format:= "text"
(Eliminates there logo)
2) Deletes rows 1 to 15
(above example rows 1 -9)
3) Run next Sub Mailing_List()

4) Checks for 2nd name is Puana
If Puana, Prints Name & address
Else
skip to next row and try again till end of file

All works except PasteSpecial. PasteSpecial does work now and then.
Thinking of putting in an If condition
(if Special errors, loop and try again)

Many many thanks, Tom
