why? It has worked for months and now it will not. HELP!!!!

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Selection.Font.Bold = True
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "American Red Ball International"
Range("A2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Monthly Agent Bookings - by agent"
Range("A5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Booking"
Range("A6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Agent No."
Range("C5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "No. of"
Range("C6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Registrations"
Rows("2:6").Select
Selection.Font.Bold = True

.Strikethrough = False
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False

It will probably work again the next time you have data on your clipboard.

You are pasting without copying anything first.

Hi Ken,

The line

ActiveSheet.Paste

looks fishy, as it does not have a preceding Copy, so I guess it will try to
paste whatever is on the clipboard when you open the file. Delete that line.

This spreadsheet is fed from a database which copies data to the
clipboard and then into the spreadsheet. It fails on the
"ActiveSheet.Paste" every time however.
