Default Choose which cell to paste data

Your best method would be to remove the borders on the destination cell
after the paste. As Gary's Student had set the destination range to a
variable r2, you can use that variable to remove the borders..

Set r2 = Application.InputBox(prompt:="pick destination", Type:=8)
r1.Copy r2
r2.Borders.LineStyle = xlNone

Even if there are no borders to remove, this will not throw an error.

Using VBA, I have copied the contents / comments / color etc.. of a
particular cell (single or merged), and wish to manually select (using
mouse pointer) which cell to paste the data.


So, I guess the VBA code should pause / stop until a new cell is
chosen and confirmed.
Is this posible?


My code so far is....


Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
' MOVE data
Dim Answer As String
Dim MyNote As String
MyNote = "Move selected data?"
Answer = MsgBox(MyNote, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "For Confirmation")
If Answer = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
End If
Selection.Copy
With ActiveCell
.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
.ClearContents
.ClearComments
.UnMerge
End With
MsgBox ("Please select new cell, where data will be copied to. ")


?????????????


ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub


Thanks in advance.

Thank you both for your reply.....

The cells that are being copied / moved can sometimes have a border
along one of it's edges (left or right, depending on it's location).
When i run your code, the borders also copy across to the new
location.

I don't want this to happen.
I have tried utilising the 'PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteAllExceptBorders' routine, but i get errors.
Possibly entering it wrong.

Can you please assist?

Thanks
Mik
