Does anyone know why this error message comes up and what to do to rectify it?

not enough memory ?
what is is running ? a browser ? adobe auto update ?

I'm on a network PC, would the fact that our shared drive is nearly at full capacity have anything to do with it?

I encountered one instance of this error message while I was copying and inserting a worksheet. Changing my procedure to inserting a blank worksheet then copying the usedrange of the source worksheet eliminated this problem.

From researching the error message, there seems to be multiple problems that generate this message.

I'm experiencing this problem in XL2007. The macro runs fine in 2000/2003, but runs afoul of this "error" in 2007. My procedures do copy worksheets, but I've always used the method pbornemeier suggested. Is there any way around this error via VBA?

No help?

I tried this other thread and it has a link to the MS Support forum. There was a question posted there, but no answers to the problem.

Does your macro include anything that uses a full column, like "G:G"?

Excel 2007 doesn't like this because of the nearly-unlimited number of rows available. Excel 2007 prefers that you identify the last row of the desired range, instead.
