Greetings! Does anyone know why

Range("AJ8").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

works, but

Range("AJ8").Paste

gives the error message:

"Run-time error '438':
Object Doesn't support this property or method!

and is there anyway of accomplishing this with one instruction rather than 2
instructions. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

May you have a most blessed day!

Sincerely,

Michael Fitzpatrick
