Help, Copy Cell, using VB

[Adam]

Hello,

I have a long list of values in one sheet of an Excel Workbook. The list
only spans Column A & B. I have 2 cells (F2, G2) in which I enter new values
to be put into the list. After entering the new values in the 2 cells I
created a button that has code to look for an open row, paste the new entry,
then clear the contents of the entry cells(F2, G2).

Everything is working perfectly except that I have border formatting on my
entry cells and that formatting also copies to the list cells. Using the VB
code, is there a way to only copy the text out of the cell and past rather
than copying the properties of the cell as well?

I've pasted my button code as a reference.

Private Sub Insert_Click()

Dim x, y

Do Until y = 1

If Cells(x, 1) = "" Then

Range(Cells(2, 6), Cells(2, 7)).Value.Copy _
Destination:=Range(Cells(x, 1), Cells(x, 2))
Range(Cells(2, 6), Cells(2, 7)).ClearContents
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Sort _
Key1:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("b"), _
Key1:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("a"), _
Header:=xlGuess

y = 1

End If

x = x + 1

Loop ' End Do Until Loop
End Sub


Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry I had some errors in the code I posted in the original message.

Private Sub Insert_Click()

Dim x, y

x = 1

Do Until y = 1

If Cells(x, 1) = "" Then

Range(Cells(2, 6), Cells(2, 7)).Copy _
Destination:=Range(Cells(x, 1), Cells(x, 2))
Range(Cells(2, 6), Cells(2, 7)).ClearContents
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Sort _
Key1:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("b"), _
Key1:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("a"), _
Header:=xlGuess

y = 1

End If

x = x + 1

Loop ' End Do Until Loop


End Sub

hi,
the copy command copies all. but you can selectively paste what was copied.
this is the line that is giving you the problem
Range(Cells(2, 6), Cells(2, 7)).Copy _
Destination:=Range(Cells(x, 1), Cells(x, 2))
this would paste all.
I might suggest this...
Range(Cells(2, 6), Cells(2, 7)).Copy
Range(Cells(x, 1), Cells(x, 2)).pastespecial xlAllExceptBorders
note: you can replace xlAllExceptBorders with 6
There are other pastespecials.
In vb help type Pastespecial to learn more.

You can also transfer values:

Range(Cells(x, 1), Cells(x, 2)).Value=Range(Cells(2, 6), Cells(2, 7)).Value

(new range values = old range value)

Thank you both. Either method works just fine. I appriciate the help!
