Default Faster copy-paste macro - easiest way?

Hi

I need help to make my macro work faster. I assume that some arra
coding can do the trick. Because the problem is that the macro read an
write all the time. I need the macro to read and when finished write.

The macro works like this.
When you push an update button the macro compiles a list on differen
sheets depending if the row is marked with a "x" or not. If "x" i
copies a range, column 2 to 4, on that row and paste it on that shee
that the x refers to.

For example; if x in column "Monday" paste that row on sheet "Monday"
If x in both column "Monday" and "Tuesday" paste that row on sheet
"Monday" and "Tuesday".

The "base" sheet look like this (ignore the.....):

Nr....Activity....instructions....time....Monday.. ...Tuesday etc....
1......Test1........Do this1.......1 hour......X
2......Test2........Do this2.......5 hours....X.................X


r is rows and c is columns.
The slow code is as follows:

Sub List()

Dim r As Integer
Dim c As Integer

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For c = 5 To 12
For r = 6 To 300
Sheets("Base").Select
If Cells(r, c) = "x" Then
Range(Cells(r, 2), Cells(r, 4)).Copy
Sheets(c - 4).Select
If Cells(4, 3) = "" Then
Cells(4, 3).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
End If
End If
Next r
Next c
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub


Many thanks in advance
