It appears that the following VBA statement,

Application.SendKeys ("^C")

does not copy the ActiveCell (as per intention), but why ?

Please share your experience. Regards.

It does work but it is dependant on exactly what you are doing. For example
if you create a forms button on a worksheet and then attach the following
code to the button then when you click the button, it will copy A1.

Sub test()
Range("A1").Select
Application.SendKeys ("^c")
End Sub

However, if you are in the VBA editor and highlight (select) the line
Range("A1").Select
and then run the code from the VBA editor and then move the cursor to a
blank area of the editor and paste you will see that it has copied the
selected text in the VBA editor.

Out of curiousity why would you want to use Senkeys to copy?

OssieMac, Esq.,

Thank you for replying to my query.

Could have used, Range("A1").Copy ......
However, upon pasting onto an external application such as MS-Word,
the cell borders of A1 are copied along thereof. The borders are not
wanted in this case.

SendKeys are intended to imitate the menial tasks of highlighting a
cell's contents Control-C (to copy) ...... and then, switching (via
the Task-Bar of Windows) to MS-Word, placing the cursor where it
should be, press keys Control-V, to paste thereof.

Regards.
