it's hard to tell with all of the other calls not available to see. The code
appears to be overly complex and simple at the same time with un-necessary
selections. What do you mean when you say "stopped working"? Was there
something in the source to copy??
Range("B1:B" & lLastCellInRange).Select 'empty??
Selection.Copy
should have removed selections, here and elsewhere, but that won't cure your
problem.
Range("B1:B" & lLastCellInRange).Copy

Hi,

The macro suddenly stopped working and the user that created it is no

None of the sheets are protected - and the issue still exists
