I have macro that goes to a cell then copies data; then using goto i
go to a general area;

after which I want macro to resume.

Is their a way to pause macro?

Hi Frank
Thanks for you help, but I can not get my selection paste special to work
Following is my code

MsgBox "From GoTo Box, Select 'Sub Data' To Copy
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaGoto).Sho
Selection.Cop

MsgBox "From GoTo Box, Select 'GROUP' to Copy Sub Data to
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaGoto).Sho

Dim ret_value As Rang
Set ret_value = Application.InputBox("select a range", Type:=8
Application.Goto reference:=ret_value ' I added this line of code to display starting cell of rangr I had selected w/inputbox
ActiveCell.Activate ' I added this line of code, hoping it would make cell selected work w/selection paste special

ans = MsgBox(" Is this correct cell to enter Sub Score", vbYesNo)
If ans = vbNo Then _
Exit Sub
' Above code appears to work, but I receive error msg with following paste special code!
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False

What do I have to change to allow macro paste data statrting at cell selected
The code i am pasting is 4 cell wide ex

col a col b col c col
sub01 joe blow 50 4

thanks again for your hel
Bob Leonar
