First of all - apologies if this is in the wrong group. I wasn't sure if it
should be newusers (which I am) or programming (which I might need).

I have inherited a lottery syndicate at work after the previous organiser
retired. He kept an Excel 97 spreadsheet with 8 columns - A (Date), B to G
(Winning numbers) and H (Bonus number). This list has now grown to about 800
rows as each draw's numbers are added to the bottom of the list (I will be
removing about 600). I have adapted the spreadsheet to automatically check
our numbers against the winning numbers (using HLOOKUP) after I have keyed
them into the top line of the list.

My problem is that I want to automatically copy this top line (cells A2:H2)
to the the next blank row at the bottom of the list (A801:H801) bearing in
mind that next time it will be A802:H802 etc. I eventually managed to record
a macro where I can get to the bottom line using
"Selection.End(xlDown).Select" (thanks to somebody in this group for that!)
but, even after reading TFM and on-line help, I can't get any further.

Can anybody please tell me how to drop to the next row and then paste the
information?

Thanks,

Peter

This is not an exact solution, but you can adapt it:

Sub add_one_on()
Rows("1:1").Select
Selection.Copy
Rows.End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub

This will take the first row, copy it, go to the row below the last row and
paste it. Upon repeated calls, it will continue to add rows to the bottom of
the sheet.

Peter, give this a try,

Range("A2:H2").Cut Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
