Copy & Paste macro

[sparx]

Please can anybody help - I have 2 database's in excel. At present
copy a range of cells in database 2 and in database 1 find the nex
empty "column A" row and then paste ( values only ) the data. Is ther
a macro that could do this for me so it looks down "column A" and find
the next empty row cell then copies the data into it - there is a catc
though - it must copy as values not a straight forward copy

do you want it in vba programme
assume all filled rows contains some value in column A
then use something like this
Public Sub test()
Range ("F1:F5"), Copy
Range("a1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub

column A in database 1 until it finds the next empty row then paste's
