Copying too much.
 

The following code should copy Columns C and D from one
workbook to another one. However, it is copying columns
A, B, C, and D.

Windows("Work Orders - Master.xls").Activate
Sheets("Drum Prep").Select
Columns("C:D").Select
Selection.Copy

Windows("Form.xls").Activate
Sheets("Drum Prep Comparison").Select
Columns("D:D").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste


Any ideas on how to fix this quirk?

Thanks

Copying too much.
 

For whatever it's worth, I could not duplicate your problem. I modified the
code as shown below. In worksheet Test1, I put some information in Columns
A, B, C, and D
The procedure seemed to correctly copy the information from columns C and D
to columns D and E in test2. The information in Columns A and B of test1
was not copied.
It was with Office 2003 that I tried it.

Windows("Test2.xls").Activate
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Columns("D:D").Select
