I have a form that users fill out, and at the bottom of the form I've added a button for the user to copy the data to be able to paste into another application we use.

Right now, the button works but it leaves the marching ants on the page.
If I use application.cutcopymode=false, it gets rid of the marching ants BUT IT ALSO Clears the cache and when I go to paste in the other application, there is nothing on the clipboard.

Any suggestions?

VBA Code:
    Range("D32:F58").Select
    Selection.Copy
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
