Hi,

I have an order form document that i have created in Excel, everything is working perfectly except for one thing.
This is how the form works.

Me or a colleague will fill in the details on the "Order Form" sheet, we will print a hard copy of said order form. After finishing with the order, click on a button that copy's all order data to a separate sheet titled "Orders" and then clears the sheet ready for the next use.

As i said everything works except one thing. As the order from uses the (TODAY) function to auto populate the date, when copying over to the "Orders" sheet it is copying the entire formula and not just the value. This is a problem because every day when the workbook is first opened all the dates on the order sheet get updated to that days date hence corrupting the historical data. I have copied my code below, i know you experts will probably find it messy, i have managed to cobble it together with some help from the internet and it works..... almost :)

VBA Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "5t6y7u8i"
    For Each ws In Worksheets
        ws.Unprotect "5t6y7u8i"
    Next
   
    Dim pasterange As Long
pasterange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1 ' the plus 1 is to get the next blank row

***ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("B3").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("A" & pasterange)***
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("F3").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("B" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S6").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("C" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S8").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("D" & pasterange)

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S22").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("N" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S23").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("O" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S24").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("P" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S25").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("Q" & pasterange)

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S31").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("W" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S32").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("X" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S34").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("Y" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("T38").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("Z" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("G10").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("AA" & pasterange)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("C40").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("AB" & pasterange)

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("S36").Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("AD" & pasterange)

ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "password"
   
    For Each ws In Worksheets
        ws.Protect "5t6y7u8i"
    Next
   
    ActiveWorkbook.Protect "5t6y7u8i"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub

***PASSWORD HAS BEEN CHANGED BEFORE ANYONE COMMENTS ON IT :)***

The line i have highlighted with *** is the one that copies and pastes the date cell. I can upload a copy of my sheet if needed :)

Any help is massively appreciated as once this if fixed i can put this sheet live in our office :)

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Sort by date Sort by votes
Change that line to this
VBA Code: 
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Orders").Range("A" & pasterange).Value=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Order Form").Range("B3").Value
