Hello:

What I am trying to do is select the cells or range on a sheet that I am
interested in, then paste link on a different sheet. All the selections
should be variable (I mean not be hardcoded).

Thanks,

Something like this:

Sub YetAnotherTry()
Dim r1 As Range, r2 As Range
Set r1 = Application.InputBox(prompt:="select copy area", Type:=8)
ady1 = r1.Address

Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Set r2 = Application.InputBox(prompt:="select destination cell", Type:=8)
ady2 = r2.Address

Sheets("sheet1").Select
Range(ady1).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range(ady2).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste Link:=True
End Sub

Hi Gary's Student:

Thank you for your help. I played with the codes. The codes meet some of my
objectives. I am wondering if we can make them smarter. The selection range
is on a variable sheet (not hardcoded to "Sheet 1") and the destination is on
another variable sheet (not hard coded to "Sheet 2"). Further, when we copy
"Plaste Link", the sequence of destination cells is not the same as the
origin cells. The destination cells will be as per a prefined sequence. Let
me explain this a little bit. The origin cells are selected from 8
consecutive cells on a column. When we Paste Link, the destination cells will
in 2 by 4 cells.

Thanks,
