Hi all,

I want to copy from one workbook and paste special "column widths" and "values" into another workbook. My crude code currently reads:

Range("A8:M48").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Book1").Activate
Sheets("Sheet3").Select
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial_
Paste:=xlColumnWidths
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues

Anybody tell me where I'm going wrong?

As always, patience and help much appreciated!

Cheers - Paul
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Select the cell to paste to 1st
eg [A1].pastespecial paste:=8

NB: Don't USE paste:=xlcolumnwidths

Use the Constant 8 or Define the xlwidths
as;

Const Xlcolumnwidths = 8
