Below is my code...

First the user will always copy something on a spreadsheet
and then they will click the button that has the below
code in it(stored in personal.xls).

What the code does is pastes the contents of the clipboard
in cell C5 of sheet1 on workbook P:\Stats Manager.xls. If
the workbook is open the code works perfect. If P:\Stats
Manager.xls is not open, the code then opens the file but
then I get the error "Paste method of Worksheet Class
Failed.". I have to go back to the source
workbook/worksheet and hit copy and then I run the code
again and it works (because P:\Stats Manager.xls is open)

Can anyone please help me?

Thanx

Hey guys,

I think I got it. I made the following modifications to
it and now it seems to be working great.

Thanx
