Why does “Paste Method of Worksheet class failed” occasionally occur?

Thanks for everyone’s contribution.

It turns out that the issue was caused by

 Range("E2").Activate

Copying the entire sheet would sometimes deplete my systems memory and cause the copy function to fail. For those interested, I simply selected a smaller range.

 Range("A1,Z400").Activate

This fixed the problem
