Hi

I have a double-click event that copies a cell on the same row as the Target but that lies within a hidden column.

It won't copy and I'm wondering if there is a way of forcing it to copy.

I've searched online but can't find anything that really fits my issue.

Thanks in advance,
Liam

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Could you show us your code?
With both column A & D hidden, this works for me:
Code:
Range("A1").Copy Range("D1")

In this case, column A is unhidden and column D is hidden. The double-click event applies to column A.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Range("A:A"), Target) Is Nothing Then
    Cells(Target.Row, "D").Copy Destination:=Cells(Target.Row, "E")
End If
End Sub
