Choose which cell to paste data
in [Programming]

From: Mik on 8 May 2010 10:38 Using VBA, I have copied the contents / comments / color etc.. of a particular cell (single or merged), and wish to manually select (using mouse pointer) which cell to paste the data. So, I guess the VBA code should pause / stop until a new cell is chosen and confirmed. Is this posible? My code so far is.... Private Sub CommandButton4_Click() ' MOVE data Dim Answer As String Dim MyNote As String MyNote = "Move selected data?" Answer = MsgBox(MyNote, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "For Confirmation") If Answer = vbNo Then Exit Sub End If Selection.Copy With ActiveCell .Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone .ClearContents .ClearComments .UnMerge End With MsgBox ("Please select new cell, where data will be copied to. ") ????????????? ActiveSheet.Paste End Sub Thanks in advance. Mik

The cells that are being copied / moved can sometimes have a border along one of it's edges (left or right, depending on it's location). When i run your code, the borders also copy across to the new location. I don't want this to happen. I have tried utilising the 'PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAllExceptBorders' routine, but i get errors. Possibly entering it wrong. Can you please assist? Thanks Mik

I am not exactly sure what you have and what you want. Is this one or more cells to copy? Do the source cells have color,merging,comments. Do you want to copy one or more cells with OUT these. Perhaps a sample file. If desired, send your file to my address below. I will only look if: 1. You send a copy of this message on an inserted sheet 2. You give me the newsgroup and the subject line 3. You send a clear explanation of what you want 4. You send before/after examples and expected results. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software dguillett(a)gmail.com "Mik" <mholmes(a)safetysystemsuk.com> wrote in message news:ed49e056-eb8a-4486-b4f9-ca1be96538c5(a)g21g2000yqk.googlegroups.com...
