Hello,
In using the range method "copy" I have run into some issues with
syntax. Below is some code. I have three statements for copying the
range to a specified destination. Two methods work. But when I use
parentheses around the argument, I get an error. I've encountered
this before. Why would I get an error when putting the argument in
parentheses?

Sub Copy_Ranges()

Dim source_range As Range
Dim dest_location As Range

Set source_range = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:B2")
Set dest_location = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A10")

source_range.Copy Destination dest_location ' this works fine
source_range.Copy Destination:=dest_location ' this works fine
source_range.Copy(dest_location) ' this one
results in an error

End Sub
