Just an added thought for the benefit of the OP.

that's true, but I wouldn't see that causing a type mismatch error (error
13) two lines later.

Hi tanyhart,

myrow = Cells.Find("Total P&C Estimate").Row - 3

This line of code will fail if the text "Total P&C Estimate" is not found on
the active worksheet. What do you want to happen if that text is not found?
Or is it possible that the code is running when a different sheet is active?

Don Guillett originally helped with the following macro to insert
lines. It worked perfectly...until today. I went in to the
spreadsheet and tried to use it and I got a runtime error '13' on the
line beginning mynum=

I have attached the code that is giving the error, and another one
which is identical. The second one works without any problem. Why
would the first one not work anymore, when it once had?


Code:
--------------------

Sub addtasks()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
myrow = Cells.Find("Total P&C Estimate").Row - 3
mycell = Cells(myrow, 2)
mynum = Right(mycell, Len(mycell) - InStr(mycell, "#")) + 1

With Range(Cells(myrow, 2), Cells(myrow + 2, 2))
.EntireRow.Copy
.EntireRow.insert Shift:=xlDown
End With

Application.CutCopyMode = False
Cells(myrow + 3, 2) = "Task#" & mynum
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

Code:
--------------------

Sub addtask()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
myrow = Cells.Find("Total Central Maintenance Shops Estimate").Row -
12 mycell = Cells(myrow, 2)
mynum = Right(mycell, Len(mycell) - InStr(mycell, "#")) + 1

With Range(Cells(myrow, 2), Cells(myrow + 11, 2))
.EntireRow.Copy
.EntireRow.insert Shift:=xlDown
End With

Application.CutCopyMode = False
Cells(myrow + 12, 2) = "Task#" & mynum
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
