Copy/Paste Problem: Runtime error 1004
 

I am copying and pasting some entries (entire rows, one at a time)
from one worksheet (NewDataWS) to another worksheet (ErrorWS) in the
same workbook. This code works fine:

NewDataWS.Cells(i, FirstNameCol).EntireRow.Copy
ErrorWS.Paste Destination:=ErrorWS.Range("A" & ErrorRow)

I want to place another value (not in the source row) in the
destination worksheet for each row, as I process it. However, when I
change the second line to start at Column "B", like below:

ErrorWS.Paste Destination:=ErrorWS.Range("B" & ErrorRow)

I get the following runtime error:

"Runtime error 1004
The information cannot be pasted because the Copy area and the paste
area are not the same size and shape. . . . "

Since I am just specifying the starting cell, I do not understand
why I get this. Do you?

Thanks in advance, Alan

I think it could be a couple of things:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210684

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818808

Can you select the destination cell and paste-special-values?
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

Thats what I do and I never get the Error 1004 (well almost never).

Are those Named Ranges? I cant seem to recreate what you have, but I would
surmise that the code needs to be something like this:
ErrorWS.PasteSpecial Destination:=ErrorWS.Range("A" & ErrorRow)
ErrorWS.PasteSpecial Destination:=ErrorWS.Range("B" & ErrorRow)
€˜etc.

I also thought that copying the entire source row may be a problem
when trying to paste specifically. I tried this but got the same
error:

NewDataWS.Range(Cells(i, 1), Cells(i, ErrorLastColumn)).Copy
ErrorWS.Range(Cells(ErrorRow, 2), Cells(ErrorRow, ErrorLastColumn +
1)).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False,
Transpose:=False

I also tried:

NewDataWS.Cells(i, FirstNameCol).EntireRow.Copy
ErrorWS.Cells(ErrorRow, 2).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues,
Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False,
Transpose:=False

but got "Select method of Range class failed".

It would be good if you could post all of your code, however, try this:

Code:
--------------------
NewDataWS.Cells(i, FirstNameCol).EntireRow.Copy _
Destination:=ErrorWS.Range("B" & ErrorRow)

--------------------
How are you finding ErrorRow?, how are you defining ErrorWs? have you
set ErrorWs to be a name?, these are just some of the many reasons you
should post all of your code :)

I just pasted the entire row, then added a cell:

NewDataWS.Cells(i, FirstNameCol).EntireRow.Copy
ErrorWS.Paste Destination:=ErrorWS.Range("A" & ErrorRow)
With ErrorWS.Cells(ErrorRow, 1)
.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
.Value = Message
End With


ErrorRow is a row counter to keep up with the next open row.

Alan,

What version of Excel are you using? I am having similar problems with
2000 but it doesn't seem to happen with 2003

Actually, I ran into this using Excel 2007. Alan
