For years I've use a simple macro to copy sets of fixed format text

files are about 400 rows x 20 columns. *No problem in excel 2000.

However in Excel 2007 the same macro crashes, at the copy sheet line,
with the error message *"Excel cannot insert the sheet into the
destination workbook because it contains fewer rows and columns that
the source workbook".

Has anyone got an explanation and/or a workaround for this in E2007?
Reverting to Excel 2000 isn't a long-term option.

It would help to see the code.
