Pasting values from a closed Excel instance
I copy a cell containing a date from a sheet of one instance of Excel. Then
closes Excel down. In another instance of Excel I like to PasteSpecial the value of the cell. The pasting part is what I like to do using VBA. But if I record a macro it comes up with ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Text"... So its the text value of the date thats pasted, not the numeric value. If I try using Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues I get a runtime error 1004: The method PasteSpecial of class Range failed. (My own translation from a danish version of Excel, so it may bw incorrect, but I hope you get the idea. How should I accomplish what I need? Jan |
