If so, you must qualify all range references with the sheet the range is on... Workbooks(y).Columns("A:E").Select Tips on posting to Excel newsgroups here...

I am not an Excel Person, but got stuck with a project because I was off the day they took the vote on who should do it. So far I've been pretty lucky just recording marco's and then placing the marco code on the click event of a button. Except for the code below. It runs fine as a macro but bombs when the code is copied to a button. It's just doing a filter then copying a range of cells from one worksheet to a new worksheet. The first line of code that bombs is "Columns("A:E").Select. Any help would be appreciated. ================================================================== Dim x As String Dim y As String x = ActiveWorkbook.Name Selection.AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:="<>" Columns("B:F").Select Selection.Copy Workbooks.Add y = ActiveWorkbook.Name ActiveSheet.Paste Columns("A:E").Select Columns("A:E").EntireColumn.AutoFit Range("A6").Select Windows(x).Activate Range("A10").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.AutoFilter Field:=6 Windows(y).Activate Range("A5").Select End Sub [/QUOTE]
