Why does:

Code: 
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Value = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2").Value

work, yet:

Code: 
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = Range("B2").Value

does not work?

Bottom line: allways use full qualified ranges.

What happens if you replace this:
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
with this ?
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi,

AVOID using the Selct and Activate methods.
Code: 
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2").Value

Skip,
