    Copy Sheet to New Workbook error?

    Now that I am forced to use Excel 2007, I am finding this new error when attempting to copy a worksheet to a new workbook.
    Mind you, I am inserting as a new sheet!

    Excel cannot insert the sheets into the destination workbook, because it contains fewer rows and columns than the source workbook. to move or copy the data to the destination workbook, you can select the data, and then use Copy and Paste commands to insert it into the sheets of another workbook.
    OK (button)
    And NO! It's not OK!

    I simply cannot grasp what the error means!?
    because it contains fewer rows and columns than the source workbook
    Fewer rows and columns compared to what?

    I also do not recall having any problems in previous versions of Excel (In regards to this matter).

    Attempting to copy a worksheet from an older version of Excel into a 2007 workbook? Excel 2007, in contrast to older versions, has 1M rows and 64K(?) columns.

    So select all the cells in the old worksheet (Ctrl+A, or click in the upper left corner of the row and column headers), copy, and paste into the 2007 worksheet.

    You're welcome. And it's actually 16k columns in Excel 2007 ...
