Default Copying only data validation

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help.
I'm writing code in VBA in Excel to copy only the data validation from a selected line in one workbook to a range in another workbook.
When i use my code it brings the error message: "Paste Special Method of range class failed"
My code is as below:

Windows(file2).Activate
Rows("3:3").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows(File).Activate
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(400, 13)).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlDataValidation, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

I've looked in the Excel help, and this says that 'xlDataValidation' is not an option for PasteSpecial.
There must be a way to only paste the validation!
Any help would be appreciated.

Jarred.
