As I recall, you may indeed copy to a hidden sheet but you cannot SELECT it
because it is hidden. So, rewrite your code, as I suggested to do withOUT
selections. Or, unhidedo your thinghide. AND, If you don't want users to
be able to unhide use xlveryhidden in your code so that it can ONLY be
opened using code.

Hi Don,


The Destination Sheet isn't protected but and the cells to copy aren't
locked. However, I'm taking it that by "hiding" the sheet it gives it
similar properties to protecting it. Therefore, is it possible to
unprotect
at the beginning of references to that sheet and reprotect at the end?

If so, can you help with where I would insert the coding please.

Thanks

Tel

Hi again guys,

I've got a Macro (rather long but basically copies and pastes contents
from
various sources into a single spreadsheet). However, If I hide the
"formula"
sheet it stops the Macro from working. How can I get the Macro to work
while
keeping the "formula" sheet hidden?

Below is the macro: (I've cut out the irrelevant bits).
