Hi,
I am getting a "PasteSpecial method of Range class failed" message
when I run the following code. Could it have something to do with the
use of the code name?

Thanks
Louis

hi,
just a guess but instead of cells.select before the paste, try
cells(1,1).select
not sure if it will work but that is all i can think of. is that the only
line the compiler don't like?

Your Cells.Select is selecting all the cells on your workbook. It is
impossible to paste to it. Select just one cell and do the paste.

Thanks,
I've altered the cells.select to cells(1,1).select, and, while I can
see that the desired selection and replacement occurs, the copy
doesn't occur, for some reason:
