pastespecial in vba
Try and try as I might I can't get pastespecial to work in the following
code. This code does (or rather I would like it to do) the following: 1) opens a new workbook (newbook) 2) copies the entire of the "Quote" sheet in the "Quote Template" 3) attempts to paste this sheet to a sheet of the same name in the newbook (I need it to copy the column widths, formatting and values) 4) it then repeats the above for a sheet called "Cost Summary" 5) it copies a logo and pastes it in the newbook Sub test() ' ' Call OpenBook Windows("Quote Template.xls").Activate Sheets("Quote").Select Cells.Copy NewBook.Activate With Sheets("Quote").Range("A1") ..PasteSpecial Paste:=xlColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False 'the code fails at this point ..PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False ..PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False End With Application.CutCopyMode = False Range("B2").Select Windows("Quote Template.xls").Activate Sheets("Cost Summary").Select Cells.Copy NewBook.Activate With Sheets("Cost Summary").Range("A1") ..PasteSpecial Paste:=xlColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False ..PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False ..PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False End With Application.CutCopyMode = False Windows("Quote Template.xls").Activate ActiveSheet.Shapes("Picture 1").Copy Range("C41").Select NewBook.Activate Range("C1").Select ActiveSheet.Paste Application.CutCopyMode = False Windows("Quote Template.xls").Activate End Sub I've read previous posts about pastespecial although I still don't understand what I'm doing wrong. My coding is amateur as can no doubt be seen from my inefficient code above - please explain in as simple terms as possible what I might be doing wrong. --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Hi cornishbloke,
how about changing With Sheets("Quote").Range("A1") to With Sheets("Quote").cells (untested) Best regards Wolf -----Original Message----- Try and try as I might I can't get pastespecial to work in the following code.

Hi Wolf,
thanks for the tip. I've tried it but unfortunately it doesn't resolve the problem. When I run the macro I get the following warning: "Pastespecial method of range class failed" --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

A number of problems. xlColumnWidths is not a pastespecial option, it is part of xlFormats when referencing within a With decl;aration,. you need to dot qualify the methods you didn't seem to setup a NewBook object, or name Quote and Cost Summary within them you can paste a picture to a sheet,. not a cell as it is on a layer above the sheet so to speak Try this Sub test() Dim NewBook As Workbook Call OpenBook Set NewBook = Workbooks.Add With NewBook .Worksheets(1).Name = "Quote" .Worksheets(2).Name = "Cost Summary" End With Workbooks("Quote Template.xls").Worksheets("Quote").Cells.Copy With NewBook.Worksheets("Quote").Range("A1") .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False End With Workbooks("Quote Template.xls").Worksheets("Cost Summary").Cells.Copy With NewBook.Worksheets("Cost Summary").Range("A1") .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False End With Workbooks("Quote Template.xls").ActiveSheet.Shapes("Picture 1").Copy NewBook.ActiveSheet.Paste End Sub -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "cornishbloke" wrote in message ...

Thank you Bob, that worked perfectly.
I did already have a separate sub that was setting up the newbook but have moved this into the same code as you suggest. Thank you very much and have a happy New Year -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

In xl2000, if you record a macro and do paste special column widths it
records the constant xlColumnWidths Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False However, this constant was not defined in xl2000 and the hard coded value 8 should be used. Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=8, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False This is just for information. There is no reason to do this as a separate operation in the current situation. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...
