Selecting a Column

[William Wolfe]

I am running a VBA application and after I have copied data to a worksheet,
I want to copy the column formatting from column N to column N+1. The
following code, first line gives me a 'Select method of Range class failed'.
'Column' is an Integer number.

' Detail_Report.Columns(Column).Select
' Application.CutCopyMode = False
' Selection.Copy
' Detail_Report.Columns(Column + 1).Select
' Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Make the DIM is correct and that Activate preceeds Select:

Sub dural()
Dim Column As Integer
Dim Detailed_Report As Worksheet
Set Detailed_Report = Sheets("Sheet1")
Column = 3
Detailed_Report.Activate
Columns(Column).Select
End Sub

Why don't you do a direct copy (rather than Copy/Paste Special)... it will
copy the values and the formatting. For example,

Detail_Report.Columns(Column).Copy Range("C1")

Note that you do not specify the entire column in the destination, only the
first cell of the range being copied to. You can also do this for smaller
ranges as well. For example...

Range("A1:E5").Copy Range("M7")
