I'm getting totaly crazy with this error: Runtime error 1004 - The Paste-Special method of this object can't be executed

This is my code:

VB

If TypeName(cb) Like "CheckBox" Then
                    If cb.Value = True Then
                        Worksheets(ReiternameAttribute).Cells(header - 1,3).Copy
                        Selection.Offset(0, 1).Select
                        With Selection
                            .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
                            .Value = cb.Caption
                            .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats
                        End With
                    End If
End If

if i go through the code with F8, I get the error in the line .PasteSpecial.
But when I switch to the excel-sheet, the right cell is selected. I also tried this and got the same error:

VB

Range("A1:A2").Copy
Range("A31:A32").PasteSpecial

Based on your code I'd say that the selection is lost when you set the borders. Because of that there's nothing to paste when you hit the PasteSpecial call.

Instead of

VB

With Selection
    .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .Value = cb.Caption
    .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats
End With

try what happens with

VB

With Selection
    .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats
    .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
    .Value = cb.Caption
End With
