Hi,

Please can someone help me?

I am trying to copy some data from one workbook to this one and if this code is triggered without anything being copied first, I get the following error

Runtime error 1004 - PasteSpecial method of range class failed

This is my code:
VBA Code:
Sub Macro1()

Dim lrcd As Long

Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
lrcd = Sheets("Auto_Changeover").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

Sheets("Auto_Changeover").Cells(lrcd + 1, "A").Select

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
        
       Application.EnableEvents = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

and this is the offending line

VBA Code:
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False


Is there a way to stop the error happening if the code is triggered without any data being copied first?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

Try this:

  Sheets("Auto_Changeover").Cells(lrcd + 1, "A").Select
