Firstly, please don't SHOUT. [Get your caps lock key repaired.]

Secondly, Edit/ Paste Special/ Comments will paste comments specifically,
but for me (with Excel 2003) if I copy a cell and paste it into another
workbook it pastes the comment too, so I don't know why you're having the
problem.

Default HOW DO I COPY ALL DATA (INC COMMENTS)FROM 1 WORKBOOK TO ANOTHE


Thanks for your reply, caps lock now fixed!

Unfortunately I am not using the cut and paste method as the formulas in
workbook "B" are set to read the value of a cell in workbook "A" but still
only retrieves the data and not the comments. Any ideas?

So you're not copying as your original post stated.

Linked target cells will only return the values from source cells.

Comments and formatting are not linked.
