Hi,
I have Worksheet1 with lots of data
I want to create Worksheet2 with a subset of this data, where I want to
just specify the rows to copy.
I did this by specifing the cell, and replicating it for all the cells
that I need to, but that is a lot of work??
Any suggestions?
Sorry, but I am a novice at this, and don't know how to find it.

Copying rows is just as easy as copying cells, take row 5 for example

Rows("5:5").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("5:5").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Ok, I created this, but I get an error at range saying that VB did not
understand the user defined type
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim rng As Range' error here

Set QtrSS = _
GetObject("c:\foo\test.xls")

rng = QtrSS.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("1:1")

MsgBox "The worksheet " _
& vbCrLf _
& "is named '" _
& "'", vbOKOnly, " see!"

QtrSS.Application.Quit
Set QtrSS = Nothing

End Sub

I have this VBA script that worked with just a few selections. I know
made it bigger, and get this error

I don't think you can select outside of the displayed page??
Any suggestions on how to scroll the page correctly automatically??

When you refer to a range the string can have no more than 256
characters. Try it like this:

Dim theSel As Range
Set theSel = Union(Rows(14), Rows(57), Rows(80), Rows(100)) 'etc
Set theSel = Union(theSel, Rows(123), Rows(137)) 'etc
theSel.Select

The union command can include 30 arguments at a time. Hence the second
set command where you can join an addition 29 rows to the range you
created in the first set. Continue this until you have all the rows you
need.

Hope this makes sense

Wow, you are really up on all of this!
I have been ****ing around with all sorts of solutions all night long.
I thought the problem was in the section of an off page item, and
introducing scrolling into my formulas
Thanks a million!
