Found a small typo and corrected it, so now have:

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
and now get error:
Real Time Error '1004'
PasteSpecial method of Range class failed.

Noticed a typo. Change this:

varSearch = Rang("L" & i).Value 'Should now be cell L9

To this:

varSearch = Range("L" & i).Value 'Should now be cell L9

See if the modifications help.

Sheets("INPUT").Activate
varSearch = ActiveCell.Value 'Should be value in cell L8
Windows("SCHOOL_Account_Codes.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("School1").Activate
Set varRange = ActiveSheet.Range("B5:QV5")
Set varFound = varRange.Find(varSearch, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not varFound Is Nothing Then varFound.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(21, 0).Activate
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks
_
:=False, Transpose:=False 'Should be contents of cell J8 above

Windows("SCHOOL1_FEES.xlsm").Activate

'<<<define values for variable i. Use i as row number in col L.
For i = 9 To Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("$A$4").Value
Range("L" & i).Offset(0, -2).Copy ' Should be content of cell J9

Firstly thank you all for your patience and valued assistance, it is
really
appreciated.

I have the following code which does not find the record to paste into.
Maybe there is an easier way? Or can someone assist in finding what is
wrong
here?
The macro is activated with the sheet "SCHOOL1_FEES.xlsm" active and the
workbook "SCHOOL_Account_Codes.xlsm" in memory.

'
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Windows("SCHOOL1_FEES.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("INPUT").Activate
Range("L8").Activate 'Starting point for offsets
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Select
Selection.Copy 'Content of cell J8
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Activate

Dim varRange As Range
Dim varFound As Variant, varSearch As Variant
Windows("SCHOOL1_FEES.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("INPUT").Activate
varSearch = ActiveCell.Value 'Should be value in cell L8
Windows("SCHOOL_Account_Codes.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("School1").Activate
Set varRange = ActiveSheet.Range("B5:QV5")
Set varFound = varRange.Find(varSearch, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not varFound Is Nothing Then varFound.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(21, 0).Activate
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _

L10,
etc.
