paste object failed
 

Hi All,
I wrote a code that copy rows from a spreadsheet to a CSV file.
One station with OfficeXP SP3 gets the above message, all other Office XP or
Office2003 stations succeed.
Any thoughts?

Err, which line causes the error as you have a few pastes ?

Also, you will code much easier if you do not .select all these objects; it
is seldom necessary and slows down execution.
And Range("A1").End(xlDown) will get you to the end of the column instead of
looping until you get an empty cell.
There is the .Find method which makes it easy to search for specific text

So:
Dim MyRange As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set MyRange = Range("C:C").Find("Ending Period:", Range("C1"), xlPart)
If MyRange Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No start value found"
Exit Sub
End If
PeriodDate = MyRange.Offset(0, 1).Value

'...etc
You can simplify the folder creation with the CreateDirectory API

'Give your some private objects to clean up the code
Dim WB as workbook
dim SourceWS as worksheet
Set wb=workbooks.add

Hi Nick,
Thanks a lot fot the tips I will review them.
The problem seems to be in the PasteScpecial object. Do you think of a
reason why in one station its working and in another it doesn't?
tnx again

You may want to return DisplayAlerts to True, after you have deleted the
sheets. Excel may be trying to you something, but you are preventing it.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Delete
Sheets("Sheet3").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Also, your error handler has a Resume at the end. So if an error other than
1004 occur, you will never know.
Put a
Debug.Print "Error : " & err.number & vbnewline & err.description
in the Case Else, so at least can see if an error is raised.

Still cannot figure it out...:(

Also, your error handler has a Resume at the end. So if an error other than
1004 occur, you will never know.
Put a
Debug.Print "Error : " & err.number & vbnewline & err.description
in the Case Else, so at least can see if an error is raised.

Hi Nick,
Thanks a lot fot the tips I will review them.
The problem seems to be in the PasteScpecial object. Do you think of a
reason why in one station its working and in another it doesn't?
tnx again

Err, which line causes the error as you have a few pastes ?

Also, you will code much easier if you do not .select all these objects;
it
is seldom necessary and slows down execution.
And Range("A1").End(xlDown) will get you to the end of the column instead
of
looping until you get an empty cell.
There is the .Find method which makes it easy to search for specific text

So:
Dim MyRange As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set MyRange = Range("C:C").Find("Ending Period:", Range("C1"), xlPart)
If MyRange Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No start value found"
Exit Sub
End If
PeriodDate = MyRange.Offset(0, 1).Value

'...etc
You can simplify the folder creation with the CreateDirectory API
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/file/nested.htm

'Give your some private objects to clean up the code
Dim WB as workbook
dim SourceWS as worksheet
Set wb=workbooks.add
set sourcews=Workbooks("Source.xls").worksheets("Which Sheet")
sourcews.Range("A2:AC2").Copy destination:=WB.worksheets(1).Range("A1")

Hi All,
I wrote a code that copy rows from a spreadsheet to a CSV file.
One station with OfficeXP SP3 gets the above message, all other Office
XP
or
Office2003 stations succeed.
Any thoughts?
