Hi
I am trying to concatenate first name and last name columns, all is good
till I copy and paste special.....It say copy and paste area is not the same
size...and it is. Here is the real dilemma, when I copy and past the data
into a new spread sheet and concatenate it works, except in certain records
it drops the actual name and I end up with a blank field, that causes great
grief when I send said data to another process that strips blank lines and
shifts remaining data up resulting in an absolute train wreck of srong names
to addresses. Help
 
If desired, send your file to my address below. I will only look if:
1. You send a copy of this message on an inserted sheet
2. You give me the newsgroup and the subject line
3. You send a clear explanation of what you want
4. You send before/after examples and expected results.
 
Are there any hidden rows or columns within the range you are copying &
pasting?

Hope this helps,

Hutch
 
Do you have any merged cells involved in this operation?

If so, get rid of them.
