Default PasteSpecial problem

Hi Jim

Use the value
PasteSpecial Paste:=8

Instead of the name
PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteColumnWidths

This is a bug in Excel 2000 and the workaround is to use the value

Ron - I am using XL2000, but I don't understand what you mean by using the
number 8. Can you explain further?

But 8 will work in every version

Can anyone tell me why this macro will not PasteSpecial the Columnwidth
attribute(the one I marked with a double asterisk, 4th line from the end).
It
handles the other PasteSpecials with no problem.

Sub ProcessWeeklyData()

' Moves last week's NEW TOTAL to PREV TTL and copies THIS WEEK to NEW
TOTAL.
Range("WeeklyInfo!D10:D59").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("WeeklyInfo!B10").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=
_
False, Transpose:=False
Range("WeeklyInfo!H10:H59").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("WeeklyInfo!C10").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=
_
False, Transpose:=False
Range("WeeklyInfo!A1:F46").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("WeeklyInfo!A1").Select
' Copies updated weekly information to a new page.
For Each Worksheet In Worksheets
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Worksheet.Use dRange.Cells) = 0
Then
Worksheet.Select
Exit For
End If
Next
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=
_
False, Transpose:=False
** Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1").Select
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False

End Sub

Thanks for any help,
