This seems incredibly simple and straight forward, but no matter how much testing and searching I do I am unable to resolve. I currently have scripting that turns on AutoFilter without selecting anything, but I thought I could copy the data and paste into a new worksheet without the data being selected. However, after it completes the action it does show columns A:K as selected. I have been unable to figure out how to deselect those columns on the worksheet nor have I been able to find out how to copy and paste without them being selected in the first place. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.
ws1.Range("A1:K1000").Copy Destination:=Sheets("copy").Range("A1:K1000")
