PasteSpecial Error
Excel XP & 2003
I wrote some code for an OP that is being used by 4 or 5 other people, each with his own computer. Everything is working fine except for one person. That person is getting an error on the statement: Dest.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues The error is: "PasteSpecial method of range class failed." By phone I got him to enter a MsgBox before that line asking for the Dest.Address. Dest has a valid cell address. I had the OP to check that all the references were the same on all the computers. They are. Or so I'm told. I am baffled because no error is created by any other computer and the code is identical on all computers. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas to solve this one? Thanks for your time. Otto |

PasteSpecial Error
You sure that the user isn't using xl2k?
Dest.PasteSpecial 8 (a bug for that constant that was fixed in xl2002) If no, then I'd check the worksheet protection, lockedness of cells, merged cells. Something different for that paste.

Dave
Thanks for the help. And Ron too. A little background on this one computer. Their IT people found some problems with some of the contents of the hard drive, so IT reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything. Maybe a problem? Also, 2 of the other people (remotely located in the state) brought THEIR workbook and ran it on this one problem computer and got the same error. The head guy is going there tomorrow and will probably reinstall Excel. It's 2003 by the way. Thanks again. Otto "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... You sure that the user isn't using xl2k?

PasteSpecial Error
I wouldn't guess that it had anything to do with the HD.
If the user can open excel and open the workbook, I'd bet it was something else. I'd ask them to try it manually to see if they could get the same error--but with a better description. Maybe you can use remote assistance (maybe NetMeeting) to watch Otto Moehrbach wrote: Dave Thanks for the help. And Ron too. A little background on this one computer.
