J.E. McGimpsey was kind enough to answer my copy & paste problem and
even supplied the macro below.. l decided to go with his example, l
just have one question...l have been trying to insert a 'pastevalues'
only syntax,
as the code copies across all the formatting in the copyrange, whereas
l would very much like to have just the values, could J.E or another
kind person help me out once more please...
l have stuck ".PasteSpecial(xlPasteValues)" all over the place but
just cannot
get it to work....thanks very much for any help...
