Default Why is worksheet.usedrange empty?

Hi,
I want to copy the data in one worksheet into an other worksheet in a new
workbook.
This is my code:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\NewCopiedBook.xls", FileFormat:= _
xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="",
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _
, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWindow.Close

I can see the cells being selected and copied. And a new workbook created
and the cells being pasted. And then the new workbook being closed.
But when I open it there is no data in the cells.

When i debug I can see that the worksheet.usedrange is empty.
The data in the "original" workbook from has just been pasted, probably not
saved. But I tried to save the "original" workbook before the code above.

What am I missing?
