Hi folks, long time since I came to this board for help and many thanks to all those who have helped me in past years. I'm trying to improve my code so that instead of actually selecting a range and then pasting as values I am trying to use the following code

Code:
        Sheet1.Range("B2:F" & RecordCount).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Destination:=Sheets(SheetName).Range("B" & RowNumber).Value

I believe the .Value at the end should ensure it only pastes values and not formatting etc. but when I add the .Value to my code I get "Copy Method of Range Class Failed". The code works without the .Value but pastes formulas and formatting instead of just values. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Try this:

Code:
  Sheet1.Range("B2:F" & RecordCount).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy
  Sheets(SheetName).Range("B" & RowNumber).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
  Application.CutCopyMode = False

You could remove the destination from that line and use a paste special line instead:

Code:
Sheets(SheetName).Range("B" & RowNumber).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

Thanks for the suggestion the code is now working by separating the destination to a separate line as follows:

Code:
        Sheet1.Range("B2:F" & RecordCount).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy        
Sheets(SheetName).Range("B" & RowNumber).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
