Hi All,

The below code does not work, when I use it from the VB editor and use F8 it works, but if I click on run or use it from the sheet, it dosen't and throws up an error: "method paste of object' Worksheet failed.
Any clue whats happening.

VBA Code:
Sub moveshapes()


Dim shp As Shape

For Each shp In Sheet1.Shapes

shp.Copy
Sheet2.Paste Cells(4, 5)

Next shp

End Sub

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Maybe...
Code:
Sheet2.Paste Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet2").Cells(4, 5)

Yes, thank you both...it works, I also tried using application.screenupdating = false and then turning it back on before the code Sheet2.Paste Cells(4, 5).
I think it has to do with something moving from vb background to sheet back and forth....just a guess.
