Default Should I be content with the time code takes?

This copy/paste special code is the last part of a macro that I run 100 times in a loop.

Using a timer, it takes 5.397 seconds to run. It produces 2000 rows of output data. Not too bad in my eyes.

If I comment out the copy lines, the macro runs 100 times in .847 seconds. (Thanks Claus)

I am not unhappy with the 5 + seconds run time, and the six square wheeled copy wagons the macro has to drag along are necessary.

Was just wondering if the copy paste could be written to be quicker. If not, I am still a happy camper and content with the 5 + seconds.

I pondered an array approach, but the six ranges to six different destinations were beyond me.

Thanks,
Howard
