Code error helppp!

[Gavin Harrison]

Hi All.

I have some code below, which always errors on the paste special line. If anyone can help i would appreciate it.

It basically copys data from a hidden sheet and pastes the values into another sheet (which is determinted based on the value of a cell).

Sub Export()
If MsgBox("Are you sure, this will overwrite any existing data?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "aladdin"
Sheets("Calculations").Visible = True
Sheets("Calculations").Select
Range("ac69:af165").Copy
Sheets(Range("aa69").Value).Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "aladdin"
Range("A12").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
ActiveSheet.Protect "aladdin"
Sheets("Calculations").Visible = False
ActiveWorkbook.Protect "aladdin", Structure:=True, Windows:=False
Range("A1:G1").Select
End Sub

Thanks in advance for any help.

try

Sub Export()
    If MsgBox("Are you sure, this will overwrite any existing data?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
    ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "aladdin"
    With Sheets("Calculations")
        .Visible = True
        .Select
        .Range("ac69:af165").Copy
        .Range("aa69").Value.Select
        .Unprotect "aladdin"
        .Range("A12").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
        .Protect "aladdin"
    End With
    Sheets("Calculations").Visible = False
    ActiveWorkbook.Protect "aladdin", Structure:=True, Windows:=False
    Range("A1:G1").Select
End Sub

I have no idea where the last range select refers to

Hi.

That code errors at the below section, do you think its beacuse if doesnt refer to it being a sheet that needs selecting defined by the contents of cell aa69?

.Range("aa69").Value.Select

What happens with

Sub Export()
    If MsgBox("Are you sure, this will overwrite any existing data?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
    ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "aladdin"
    
    Sheets("Calculations").Range("ac69:af165").Copy
    With Sheets(Sheets("Calculations").Range("aa69").Value)
        .Unprotect "aladdin"
        .Range("A12").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
        .Protect "aladdin"
    End With
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Protect "aladdin", Structure:=True, Windows:=False
    Range("A1:G1").Select
End Sub

Hi Mark.

it still errors at the paste line. I have got it to run the full sequence with this below code, but its not actually pasting the range?

Thanks

Sub Export()
If MsgBox("Are you sure, this will overwrite any existing data?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "aladdin"
With Sheets("Calculations")
.Visible = True
.Select
.Range("ac69:af165").Copy
Sheets(Range("aa69").Value).Select
.Unprotect "aladdin"
.Range("A12").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
.Protect "aladdin"
End With
Sheets("Calculations").Visible = False
ActiveWorkbook.Protect "aladdin", Structure:=True, Windows:=False
Range("A1:G1").Select
End Sub

it still errors at the paste line.

Strange it doesn't for me.

What does the error state?
What does the code below produce (copy the result to the thread, do not retype it)?

Sub Export2()
    If MsgBox("Are you sure, this will overwrite any existing data?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
    ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "aladdin"
    
    With Sheets(Sheets("Calculations").Range("aa69").Value)
       Debug.Print Sheets(Sheets("Calculations").Range("aa69").Value).Name
    End With
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Protect "aladdin", Structure:=True, Windows:=False
 
End Sub

and what happens with

Sub Export3()
    If MsgBox("Are you sure, this will overwrite any existing data?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
    ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "aladdin"

    With Sheets(Sheets("Calculations").Range("aa69").Value)
        .Unprotect "aladdin"
        Sheets("Calculations").Range("ac69:af165").Copy
        .Range("A12").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
        .Protect "aladdin"
    End With

    ActiveWorkbook.Protect "aladdin", Structure:=True, Windows:=False
  
End Sub
