I cannot test it right now, but there are some things that look odd to me.
I usually use Activeworkbook.close savechanges:=false
and, I'd suggest that you paste the clipboard before you close the workbook.
I'm not sure how Windows decides, but sometimes when you close the SOURCE of
the clipboard data, it releases the memory in the clipboard.
also:Range("A1:I100").Select
Selection.Copy
is the same as
Range("A1:I100").Copy
and, there might be a way to do this without using the clipboard at all,
by using something like:
Workbooks("BusinessOrganizerMapping2013.xlsm").sheets("Temp").Range("A1:I100")
= _
Workbooks(Range("BusinessOrganizerMapping2013.xlsm!A7"))").sheets("Temp").Range("A1:I100"
