what i have going on is that i have a code that copys cells from a sheet, drops them in to a workbook then attaches that to an email places a screenshot of the cells in the body. Then it sends the email, deletes the temp file saves and closes.
the code works about 70% of the time it gets an error about 30% of the time.
i have a windows scheduled task that makes it launch and i have 6 of different sheets witht he same code that launch at the same time.
Sub Test_Hourly()

End Sub
the error i about 30% of the time that makes my scheduled tasks stop firing is a Visual Basic Error
Run-time error '1004':
CopyPicture method of Range class failed
I have put it wait timer in there (which i removed for pasting purposes) that caused it to fail less but it still fails.
any help is greatly appreciated
