VB Error: Paste Special method of range class failed
I have written the following in VB to copy and paste data
from one workbook to another: ActiveSheet.Range("A6:A35").Select Selection.Copy Windows("Data_2004.xls").Activate Sheets("My Data").Select Range("A6").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False For some reason everytime I run the Macro I get the following error: 'Paste Special method of Range class failed' Can anyone help with this problem??

VB Error: Paste Special method of range class failed
Chris,
Works alright here. You can reduce that code down to: Range("A6:A35").Copy Sheets("My Data").Range("A6").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues -- Rob van Gelder - http://www.vangelder.co.nz/excel "Chris" wrote in message ...

If the code is contained in a worksheet module, then
Range("A6").Select refers to the sheet containing the code, not necessarily the active sheet and would cause such an error. Assuming the Activesheet at the start of the code is not in Data_2004.xls, then Rob's suggestion fix should be: Range("A6:A35").Copy Workbooks("Data_2004.xls").Sheets("My Data") _ .Range("A6").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues or you could just do Workbooks("Data_2004.xls").Sheets("My Data") _ .Range("A6").Resize(30,1).Value = Range("A6:A35").Value -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Chris" wrote in message ...
