Thanks to both of you. I tried both suggestions independently and together,
however, they did not solve the problem..

Any more suggestions?

Thanks for trying!

I think we cannot use Cells(II,3) straightaway for comparing values.
Using Cells(II,3).value = "" might be the reason for the error.

Ray,

If you have a lot of rows, than Dim II as Long (not as Integer).

I am having some problems getting this code to work like it has in the
past.
I am sure that there is an easier way to accomplish this task,
however,
I
must be missing something.

To give you the appropriate background, I have a workbook that
contains
numerous pages. I have built a macro which creates a new workbook
named
NWB.
Then it copies selected worksheets into the new workbook. The first
part
of
the ode below works fine to eliminate the buttons found on worksheet
named
SRN. However, when I get to the line with the . I get a type
mismatch
error, and everything stops. I am using the 'With' since I am
activating
this code from a worksheet in the original workbook. In simple terms,
I
just
want to start at a known cell in workbook NWB and worksheet SRN and
find
out
the bottom row of the table with an entry in column 3. Then I copy it
to
the
clipboard and past back the cell contents as values. This is being
done
since I don't copy the worksheet with the data that these cells
reference
into the new workbook.

Please give me some guidance on how to accomplish this task.

Thanks!

' remove command buttons from Sheet
Dim i As Integer, N As Integer
Dim II As Integer
With NWB.Worksheets(SRN)
'get the number of OLEObjects on the sheet
N = .OLEObjects.Count
For i = N To 1 Step -1
'check the type of object. If a command button, delete it
If LCase(TypeName(.OLEObjects(i).Object)) = _
"commandbutton" Then .OLEObjects(i).Delete
Next

' convert the MM and MN cells to values

II = 20 ' start on row 20

Do Until .Cells(II, 3) = "" ' find end of column
II = II + 1
Loop


II = II - 1 ' get back to last row
.Range(.Cells(20, 3), .Cells(II, 4)).Copy ' get the range onto
the
clipboard
.Range(.Cells(20, 3), .Cells(II, 4)).PasteSpecial (xlValues)
