Can anyone provide any help to me? I am trying to copy a dynamic range from
one workbook to another dynamic range workbook using the clipboard. The copy
won't work because I don't know the destination because it is a dynamic
range. I've typed the following code and the only thing that pastes is the
word "True". If I take away the resize property it will copy the first field
okay but I need the whole range. Is there anyway to do this? I'm using
Excel 2003 and the XP Operating system.

You only need to specify the upper left cell in the destination range when
copying from the clipboard.

range("Name1").copy Destination:=range("Name2").Resize(1,1)

as an example.
