Sheets("Sheet1").Range("a1:b10").Copy _
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("a1").xlValues

What should I do instead

Why do you need to bypass the clipboard?

Last night I dreamed of a small consolation enjoyed only by the blind: Nobody knows the trouble I've not seen!

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("a1:b10").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("a1")
but you need to use paste special

I bypass the clipboard because in some instances I copy from another spreadsheet and it eliminates hassle.
It is the pastespecial I am having trouble with so in the reply below :-
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("a1:b10").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("a1")
How would I adapt that for pastespecial values
record it in the macro recorder.....however you wil always use the clipboard if you copy something, if you reference it via formula you do not use the clipboard but if the values in the source book change then so will your destination book when both are open!

Hi, philfer,
just copy values directly without using copy&paste:
Ciao,Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Resize(10, 1).Value = _ Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Resize(10, 1).Value

Simple answer is - you can't - bypassing the clipboard like that only works for a straight paste, not a pastespecial. If you only want the values, copy them directly without a paste as HaHoBe has shown.Originally Posted by philfer

The major part of getting the right answer lies in asking the right question...
Made your code more readable, use VBA tags (this automatically inserts [vba] at the start of your code, and [/vba ] at the end of your code) | Help those helping you by marking your thread solved when it is.
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("a1:b10").Value= Sheets("Sheet1").Range("a1:b10").Value
