help with copying worksheet (excel 97 vs excel 2000)

[funkymonkUK]

Hi

It got the following code

Code:
--------------------
Sub viewtables()
'
Sheets("menu").Range("h3").Value = 1
Sheets("Tables(MAIN)").Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets("Tables(MAIN) (2)").Select
Sheets("Tables(MAIN) (2)").Name = "Tables"
findshapes
Range("d1").Value = ""
Range("A1").Select
Sheets("menu").Range("h3").Value = ""
--------------------


If works perfect on my machine which has excel 2000 however if I go to
a machien with 97 on it comes up with the following error Runtime Error
1004 copy method of worksheet class failed. And breaks at the
"sheets.copy after " part.

Any idea why as I have recorded a macro on excel 97 and it come out
with exactly the same lines.

Hi
Try inserting
Application.CutCopymode = False

before the copy. This clears the clipboard (I think) and I remember it
fixing something similar for me.

If you are running your code from an ActiveX CommandButton in XL97, change
its TakeFocusOnClick property from True to False.

One other thought - is the workbook protected for structure?
