I don't understand why I'm getting this error

I'm just matching two cells and then copying and pasting from one worksheet to another, the copy line gives me an "Application Defined or Object Defined Error".

Code:
Sub Add_Forecast_Data_to_Demand_Data()
Dim totalrows1 As Long, totalrows2 As Long, iRow1 As Long, iRow2 As Long, part1 As String, part2 As String
Dim loc1 As String, loc2 As String
totalrows1 = Sheets("Parts_Locs_Merged_Rows").UsedRange.Rows.Count
totalrows2 = Sheets("Forecast_June").UsedRange.Rows.Count
For iRow2 = 2 To 10
    part2 = Sheets("Forecast_June").Cells(iRow2, 1)
    loc2 = Sheets("Forecast_June").Cells(iRow2, 2)
    For iRow1 = 2 To totalrows1
        part1 = Sheets("Parts_Locs_Merged_Rows").Cells(iRow1, 1)
        loc1 = Sheets("Parts_Locs_Merged_Rows").Cells(iRow1, 2)
        If (part1 = part2 And loc1 = loc2) Then
            Sheets("Forecast_June").Range(Cells(iRow2, 3), Cells(iRow2, 15)).Copy
            Sheets("Parts_Locs_Merged_Rows").Cells(iRow1, 15).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            Exit For
        End If
    Next iRow1
Next iRow2
End Sub

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Is the error on this line?
Sheets("Forecast_June").Range(Cells(iRow2, 3), Cells(iRow2, 15)).Copy

When you use the syntax Range(Cells(), Cells())
And you specify the Sheet on the Range, you must also specify the sheet on both Cells.

Try changing that to
Sheets("Forecast_June").Range(Sheets("Forecast_June").Cells(iRow2, 3), Sheets("Forecast_June").Cells(iRow2, 15)).Copy

You're welcome..

FYI, it happens because of certain assumptions VBA makes in your code.

When you use Range or Cells, if you do NOT specify the sheet it refers to, then VBA assumes it should refer to whatever the currently active sheet is.

So if the sheet Forcast_June is NOT the active sheet at the time this runs (Say Sheet1 is active) then VBA reads it like this
Sheets("Forecast_June").Range(Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(iRow2, 3), Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(iRow2, 15)).Copy
Which makes no sense at all, because Sheet1 is not contained within Forcase_June
