VBA Copy and Paste between workbooks

Copper Contributor

Hi,

 

I am trying to write a VBA to embed into a source workbook (this gets renamed for each job), which copies the same row each time (Row 5 on the Data Worksheet) and adds it into the next available row on the Machine Schedule workbook.

 

So far this code works the first time that you run it. But when you run it a second time, it re-writes row 5, and adds other information on the next available row down, pulled from different sheets on the source workbook. They're not at all mentioned in the code, so I can't understand why it would do this.

Here something on the fast untested (but should work):

Sub copy()

With Sheets("1")

.Range(.Cells(6, 2), .Cells(Rows.Count, 5)

.End(xlUp)).copy End With Sheets("2")

.Activate lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2)

.End(xlUp).Row Range("B" & lastrow + 1)

.Select Selection.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues = xlPasteValues

End Sub

Thank you so much for your response. I have just managed to get it working by specifying the PasteSpecial as PasteValues, as you have mentioned below. It turns out that it was quite an easy fix in the end! 

Thanks again.
