Can't copy an Excel worksheet
I have been unable to make a copy of a worksheet within a file or by copying
it to a new workbook. When I try copying it to a new file, the new workbook appears temporarily and then disappears. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am using Excel 2002. |

How are you copying the worksheet?
ctrl-click and drag click on the worksheet tab and edit|move or copy worksheet. I've never had any trouble with this kind of thing. Maybe you could try doing the same stuff when you start excel in safe mode. close excel windows start button|run excel /safe File|open your workbook and copy that worksheet. ====== Another alternative while you're trying to figure out what's going on. Open your workbook file|Save as|a nice new name delete the worksheets you don't want. Save that new workbook with just that worksheet.

Thanks, Dave. In the end I did your last option. It seems to be a corrupted
workbook. :( "Dave Peterson" wrote: How are you copying the worksheet? ctrl-click and drag click on the worksheet tab and edit|move or copy worksheet.

If you think it's corrupted, then I think you may want to start rebuilding it.
If the workbook ever gets so bad you can't open it, well, you know the rest of the warning! === Ps. The one workbook that I had that was corrupted had the same kind of problem. I could move the sheet, but I couldn't copy it. I rebuilt that one sheet and haven't had any trouble since. (But man, oh, man, it was a pain rebuilding the worksheet.) Gaby wrote: Thanks, Dave.
