Bruce,

I had tried that before with a single space and with an empty string and the result is "OLE IDispatch exception code 1004 from Microsoft Excel: Unable to get the Copy property of the worksheet class." What I did not try until just now is:

oleApp.Worksheets('sheet1').copy(.null.,oleApp.Worksheets('sheet2'))

THIS WORKS!! :)

Thanks to you and Perry for giving me different approaches to try.

Mark
