    Problem copying cells contents from one worksheet to another.

    Can anyone help me with an excel vba userform issue im having?

    I’m trying to copy and paste data in a cell from one worksheet to another, but when I try to paste the data into the second worksheet, it pastes it into the same cell, but on the first worksheet??

    Im launching a userform via a macro on the first worksheet, called “Risk Assessment”. This switches over to the second worksheet, called “Hazard Selector”, and loads my userform.

    Heres the code for that macro, assigned to a button in the “risk assessment” worksheet.

    I then use the form to make some selections in the “Hazard Selector” sheet, which put data into cell D11 on the “Hazard Selector” sheet.

    Using a button on the userform I then want to copy this D11 data, switch back to the “Risk Assessment” worksheet and close the userform. Im using this code to do this, assigned to a button on the Userform.

    This seems to work, and I have the contents of cell D11 on my clipboard, however, when I now try and paste this data into my “Risk Assessment” worksheet, for example into cell A1- nothing happens.

    Instead, the contents paste into the “Hazard Selector” worksheet instead, into cell A1?!

    I cant for the life of me figure out why, can anyone help?!

    Many thanks

    Re: Problem copying cells contents from one worksheet to another.

    Thanks,

    This works in pasting the content to "risk assessment" range A1, however I want to leave the data on the clipboard so i can paste it into a cell of my choosing.

    What I have noticed, is that if I click into a different cell, then right click and paste to the cell I want the data in, it works.

    However, I need to be able to paste the data from a single right click, not click away to activate the "risk assessment" sheet.

    Thanks

    Re: Problem copying cells contents from one worksheet to another.

    I suspect that, when you copy the cell, you see the "dancing ants" around it. When you click on another cell, they are still there and hence you can right click and paste the data. However, I imagine that some action or event is cancelling the selection … the dancing ants are no longer dancing … and the data is no longer available to paste.

    You could, maybe, copy the cell to a variable, do whatever action is clearing the clipboard, and then copy the variable to the clipboard.

    Re: Problem copying cells contents from one worksheet to another.

    Thanks TMS,

    You are right about the dancing ants, but I still get the same issue when switching back to the "Risk Assessment" page.
    One thing I have noticed is that if I run userform directly from within the VBA editor using the "play" button, it all works fine.
    However, launching my userform from a button on my first page doesnt allow me to paste the data correctly?

    I appreciate the help - thanks

    I guess. I have nothing to help me diagnose the problem or offer a solution.
