Question

If I populate an object in vba with 10 values, and paste it into a range that has been defined to be 200 rows long, will these 10 values be copied over and over again in the predefined range?

note: the populating and pasting is done via vba code, and the range is defined in excel.

this seems to be happening in excel vba 2007, but not in 2010. need to fix the 2007 problem. would appreciate your input..

thanks in adv!

To avoid pasting extra data, Set a variable to your named range and Resize that variable before pasting, eg

If the ‘object’ being pasted is a Range

Set rng = [MyNamedRange]
rng.Resize(CopyFormRange.Rows.Count, CopyFormRange.Columns.Count).Copy CopyFormRange

If the ‘object’ being pasted is an Array

Set rng = [MyNamedRange]
rng.Resize(UBound(CopyFromArray, 1) - LBound(CopyFromArray, 1), _
           UBound(CopyFromArray, 2) - LBound(CopyFromArray, 2)).Copy CopyFormRange
