excel 2000 - Wierd Paste Problem

  Asked By: Nisha    Date: Nov 16    Category: MS Office    Views: 1030
  

In VBA I'm trying to do a copy and paste. The copy is fine. The paste
causes something wierd to happen.

The "effects" are that I get an error window saying it can't paste. If
I end the run and look at the sheet then the paste has actually been
performed!

What's wierder though is that the workbook is unusable!!! If I go to
another sheet in the workbook I see the formula box flickering... on
all of the sheets except for the one trying the paste.

Circular references!!! Now there's a thought! but I can't see any
though!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

What's strange also is that after the "unsuccesful" paste  that
actually worked the maths is wrong.
For example I have this

B C D E F G
3 Januari Februari
4 Aantal Per stuk Totaal Aantal Per stuk Totaal
5 7.00 2.86 20.00
(B5*C5)

I cut B5:D5 and try to paste it to Feb at E5.
I get this

B C D E F G
3 Januari Februari
4 Aantal Per stuk Totaal Aantal Per stuk Totaal
5 7.00 2.86 20.00
(B5*C5)

With B5*C5 in G5 showing 20!

Answer #4    Answered By: Emma Campbell     Answered On: Nov 16

I maaaay have an answer to this. I'm testing it now. I got to a lot of
this code by recording.. don't we all :-)

So.. I thought maybe some of that is screwing up. So far I've had
succsess in removing the line from the recorded stuff that reads
"Application.CutCopyMode = False".

I've trimmed this post because of it's size... the code is in a
previous post.

As I said I'm still testing but I think that's it but I will get back
and say for def.
Curiously enough... at site
msdn.microsoft.com/.../vbaxl
11/html/xlproCutCopyMode1_HV05200342.asp

I see there are 2 values TRUE and FALSE for CutCopyMode.
Guess what they say...

False Cancels Cut or Copy mode and removes the moving border.
True Cancels Cut or Copy mode and removes the moving border.

 
Answer #5    Answered By: Kellie Bishop     Answered On: Nov 16

I think the problem  arises from trying to cut and pasteSpecial rather
than copy and paste  special. If you try to cut and pasteSpecial in the
spreadsheet manually you'll find it doesn't offer the option to
PasteSpecial when you've cut rather than copied.

I think the quick answer is to go back and delete the copied cells
after PasteSpecial, but since that operation changes the selection
you'd have to reselct them..

So since you're just copying values how about:

Range(olR2, olR2.Offset(Selection.Rows.Count - 1, _
Selection.Columns.Count - 1)) = Selection.Value
Selection.Clear

This leaves the selected cells as the cleared cells on the sheet
copied from.

 
Answer #6    Answered By: Mona Wagner     Answered On: Nov 16

I've tried paste  and pastespecial and lots of other things as well and
everything fails on that paste. I either get a 1004 error or a
80010108 error. Researching them on the net leads me to think it may
be a late/early binding problem  and that VBA is just getting lost
somewhere.

I'm going to try and fully qualify stuff but if that doesn't work I
want to be able to close and open the workbook. Any idea how I can do
that please??

Answer #8    Answered By: Doyle Gonzalez     Answered On: Nov 16

I'm still trying things so you got a bit of code that
isn't .. erm... correct.

Here is the "real" end bit.

Loop

'ActiveCell.Offset(0, ActiveCell.Column - 1).Select
ilCol = ActiveCell.Column

Cells(ilRow, ilCol).Select
Set olR2 = ActiveCell

olR1.Offset(0, 1).Select
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

Selection.Cut
olR2.Select
'ActiveSheet.Paste
Selection.PasteSpecial _
Paste:=xlValues, _
Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, _
Transpose:=False

End Sub
