Hello peers,

I appreciate this has been asked numerous times and i have tried google search and to no avail in amending the code below to paste in the next empty column in the workbook the data is being copied to.

for some reason its pasting the values at the bottom row of the workbook in column A. when it should be pasting values into the next empty column between row 4 and 8.


Code:
            wsCopyFrom.Range("E5:AA8").Copy
            wsCopyTo.Cells(Columns.Count, 1).End(xlToLeft).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues


The code below is taken from Ron De Bruin website which has been created for the Mac. I need to maintain the structure of Ron code as possible as this code is being ran on a mac operating system.


Any advice would be appreciated.






Code:
'Important: this Dim line must be at the top of your module

    'Normally you will use it like this :

    'Clear MyFiles to be sure that it not return old info if no files are found
    MyFiles = ""
 
    'Fill the MyFiles string with the files if they match your criteria
