Default Simple Copy-Paste logic not working

It works for me so long as the active sheet is "Sheet1". I supect on your
computer at work you had another sheet active. The problem is that the Cells
method defaults to the active sheet if it is not qualified even if it is
contained within a Range statement. Should be:

ws.Range(ws.Cells(rowId, 1), ws.Cells(rowId, 2)).Copy _
ws.Range(ws.Cells(rowId, 1), ws.Cells(rowId, 2)).Offset(1, 0)

It's not necessary to use a loop to populate a range with a constant value
nor the Copy method if all you want is to transfer values. You can just
define the range and specify the value(s). This example accomplishes the same
as your code:

Sub Test()
Dim r As Range
Set r = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:B1")
r.Offset(1).Resize(10, 2).Value = r.Value
End Sub

Here is my block of code.

<<<
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rowId as Integer

Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

For rowId = 1 to 10
ws.Range(Cells(rowId, 1), Cells(rowId, 2)).Copy _
ws.Range(Cells(rowId, 1), Cells(rowId, 2)).Offset(1, 0)
'[fails at this step!!!]
Next rowId

<<<

It works on my machine at home... but fails on my work computer. Both
machines are XP Pro SP2 with Office 2003 installed.

The error I get is : Runtime error 1004 - Method 'Range' of object
'_Worksheet' failed

I've seen the problem before, but can't remember what/why it doesn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Brian
