Good afternoon. I am having issues with some VBA that I got here a long while ago. It was working flawlessly but recently I have noticed that it is no longer dating correctly when the log is generated. Other than where it pulls and pastes to there have been no other changes.
The way this works is I have the VBA locked to a button and when I generate numbers based on criteria I press the button and it will copy from designated lines on multiple sheets, check for duplicates, and paste in another sheet, workbook, or both and date in the line next to it when this happened. Recently, it stopped logging the dates like before and is now overwriting for the date I last pressed the log button.
Original post below this.
Copying Sheet from one Workbook to another.

VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Call Worksheet_Activate_V3
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate_V3()
'
'   This script attempts to copy data from a source file and paste it into a different sheet either into the same workbook and/or a different workbook.
'       After the choice is made, it will copy data to either or both or neither.

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Sorry, I seem to have forgotten to add information. The following is the format in which the above pulls from. I was thinking of changing the whole setup for generation from the following using a userform in VBA. I just haven't learned enough to do this effectively yet. Since most information is static for this generation the userform should be simple enough to use. I'm just not there yet in terms of knowledge.

I've been trying to figure out a work around on this issue and still have not come up with anything of value out of it. When I active this it dates everything for todays date instead of just searching, removing duplicates, then adding a date to the right of the log. Everything else works fine but this one function.
VBA Code:
Sub CopyPasteEtc()
'
    If LogToSourceWorkbook = True Then
        SourceWorkbookSheetToCopyFrom.Range(ColumnToCopyFrom & "2", SourceWorkbookSheetToCopyFrom.Range(ColumnToCopyFrom & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy  ' Copy Column Data to Clipboard
'
        With SourceWorkbookSheetToCopyTo                                                ' Paste results to source workbook
            .Range(ColumnToCopyTo & "1048576").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues   ' Paste Data from Source Column to End of Destination Column
            .Range(ColumnToCopyTo & "2", SourceWorkbookSheetToCopyTo.Range(ColumnToCopyTo & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).RemoveDuplicates 1    ' Remove Duplicates from Destination Column
            .Range(DateColumn & "2:" & DateColumn & SourceWorkbookSheetToCopyTo.Range(ColumnToCopyTo & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Value = Date   ' Add Today's Date to next column
        End With
    End If
'
'------------------------------
'
    If LogToDestinationWorkbook = True Then
        SourceWorkbookSheetToCopyFrom.Range(ColumnToCopyFrom & "2", SourceWorkbookSheetToCopyFrom.Range(ColumnToCopyFrom & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy  ' Copy Column Data to Clipboard
'
        With DestinationWorkbookSheetToCopyTo                                           ' Paste results to destination workbook
            .Range(ColumnToCopyTo & "1048576").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues   ' Paste Data from Source Column to End of Destination Column
            .Range(ColumnToCopyTo & "2", DestinationWorkbookSheetToCopyTo.Range(ColumnToCopyTo & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).RemoveDuplicates 1    ' Remove Duplicates from Destination Column
            .Range(DateColumn & "2:" & DateColumn & DestinationWorkbookSheetToCopyTo.Range(ColumnToCopyTo & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Value = Date   ' Add Today's Date to next column
