Problem with ActiveSheet.Paste function

Hello All,

I used for a long time a small code into a worksheet to avoid doing manual Copy/Paste.
Since 2019 this code worked well until yesterday. This is te part of my code where the problem happend.

 

 

If ind > 5 Then 'Pour éviter de copier l'entête du tableau
splagePrec = "A" + Trim(CStr(ind - 1)) & ":M" & Trim(CStr(ind - 1))
Range(splagePrec).Select
Selection.Copy
splage = "A" + Trim(CStr(ind))
Range(splage).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If

 

 

Each part of this code run correctly until the instruction ActiveSheet.Paste.
It can take 15 min to execute this simple line.
I have tested on Windows 11/Excel 2019 PC and on Windows 10/Excel 2016 PC. the result is similar.
I don't understand why this problem start now
thank you for any help

    I don't know why it takes so long, but see if this works better:

     

        If ind > 5 Then 'Pour éviter de copier l'entête du tableau
            Range("A" & ind - 1 & ":M" & ind - 1).Copy Destination:=Range("A" & ind)
        End If

      Your code is very simple! Thank you for that.

      I tested it but the result is similar. So, maybe the problem isn't ActiveSheet.Paste function.

        Try adding the following lines at the beginning of your macro:

         

            Application.Cursor = xlWait
            Application.ScreenUpdating = False
            Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
            Application.EnableEvents = False

         

        and at the end:

         

            Application.EnableEvents = True
            Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
            Application.ScreenUpdating = True
            Application.Cursor = xlDefault
