I'm trying to copy the contents of a named range on one worksheet over
to another named range on another worksheet, using Paste Special macro
code. However, when I execute the macro, it seems to lose the
definition of the target named range.

1. I defined the source named range "RisksTable" as $AI$31:$AR$36 on
one worksheet, called "6-Blocker", using the spreadsheet menu
functions.
2. I defined the target named range "RisksTableTarget as $A$33:$J38 on
another worksheet, called "Project Risks", also using the spreadsheet
menu functions.
3. My code looks like this:

Sheets("6-Blocker").Select
Range("RisksTable").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Project Risks").Select
Range("RisksTableTarget").Select

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False

4. When I execute the code, it fails with run-time error 1004, "Method
'Range' of object_Global failure". I went back to the range
definitions and found that while RisksTable was intact, the range
RisksTableTarget has been re-defined somehow as 'Project Risks'!REF#.

5. If instead of referencing the named range, "RisksTableTarget", I
use a cell range, i.e., $A$33:$J$38, the code runs fine. But I need to
reference the named range, because the user will be making changes to
named range definitions only, and not have to diddle around with the
code.

Can somebody help with this problem?

Thanks in advance.
