hi all, i need your help with an error i get when running the vba. what i want is to allow users to paste special values only when they use the ctrl+v shortcut for example. i'm using the code below and i'm getting a runtime error for section highlighted in red. of course when i paste something anywhere in the workbook, it's pasting everything, formats and values.
your help would be appreciated
thank you
