    vba excel run-time error 1004 Application-defined or object-defined error

    Hi guys, so I'm trying to copy several rows of a sheet and paste it on a new one.

    Code:
    Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range(strLignesSelec)  ' This is where I get the error
    rng.Copy
    At this point, strLignesSelec = "1:1,2:3,15:15,21:21,37:37"
    What is weird is that if I press F5 again, it'll work, everything will be copied fine. But the first time, I always get this error.
    I was thinking, maybe it didn't work because I have hyperlinks in the range? But that would be weird.

    Anyone has an idea what's my mistake here? Thanks.

    for any assistance, you would probably need to show the preceding code
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Maybe like this:

    Code:
    Dim str As String
        Dim rng As Range
          
        str = "1:1" & "," & "2:3" & "," & "15:15" & "," & "21:21" & "," & "37:37"
        Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range(str)

    Re: vba excel run-time error 1004 Application-defined or object-defined error

    vbfbryce, that's kind of what I do, it's just that when I get the run-time error, my string contains "1:1,2:3,15:15,21:21,37:37", which means the error is not there. Here's more of my code:

    Code:
    Dim nbLignes As Integer, strLignesSelec As String, longueurI As Integer, rng As Range
    Dim contenuCel As String
    nbLignes = ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row ' To get the number of lines
    
    strLignesSelec = ""
            ' I run through every row of my sheet, except the last one and check the value contained in the   
            ' column F. I only want to copy the rows, which its F column value is not 0 or nothing.
            For i = 2 To nbLignes - 1
                contenuCel = Range("F" & i).Text
                If Not Trim(contenuCel) = "0" And Not Trim(contenuCel) = "" Then
                    If strLignesSelec = "" Then
                        strLignesSelec = i & ":" & i
                    Else
                        longueurI = Len(i)
                        ' If the last character of the string is the antecedent of i, replace it by i. So instead of
                        ' having "2:2,3:3,4:4", I have "2:4".
                        If Right$(strLignesSelec, longueurI) = i - 1 Then
                            strLignesSelec = Replace(strLignesSelec, ":" & i - 1, ":" & i)
                        Else
                            strLignesSelec = strLignesSelec & "," & i & ":" & i
                        End If
                    End If
                End If
            Next
            ' I want to copy the column headers row too
            strLignesSelec = "1:1," & strLignesSelec
            Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range(strLignesSelec)
            rng.Copy
    
    ' Then I create a new sheet and paste the range copied
    Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Anyone sees my mistake? I'm sure it's there, screaming for me to find it.

    I don't get an error there, but had to guess at what your data was like. Can you zip and attach a sample of the real data?

    By the way, you will see in my code that I do the range thing twice. The reason is that actually, what I want to do, is copy the rows that have 1 or higher in the F column and afterwards, copy the rest of the lines at the end of the sheet.

    I ran through your code and got no error when setting the range. Why don't you sort by column F first? Then you wouldn't have to select multiple ranges.

    Re: vba excel run-time error 1004 Application-defined or object-defined error

    Why do I get the error and you don't? I sort by column A and then by column F, because I want to see the rows in order of the institution which will have attendance (présences), and then show the rows, always in order of the institution which won't have any attendance.

    But anyways, even if I only select one range (which I don't actually, I just copy it), I still get that run-time error that you don't seem to have. My question is why?

    Can't explain why you get the error...if you debug at that point, what is the value of "activesheet?" Is it what you'd expect? As far as your sort order goes, you could add a column (hidden or otherwise), that would indicate "attendance - yes / no" and sort first by it, then by institution.

    Yes, the activesheet is correct. What I don't understand is that when I debug it it works. Even when I get the error, if I debug and then press F5, it'll work.

    Re: vba excel run-time error 1004 Application-defined or object-defined error

    Okay... So it turns out it's my EmailHyperlink procedure that does something wrong, something I don't understand. If I comment it, the code works fine. Anyone understands why it doesn't work because of this procedure?
