Run-time error '1004: PasteSpecial method of Range class failed

I have this error when I try to paste a merged cell within the Range("A1:Q20") from one worksheet of a workbook into another worksheet of another workbook in the cell "F20" as seen in the code below.

With ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
Range("A1:Q20").Copy
dataworkbook.Close
End With

With ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Destination Data")
Range("F20").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
End With

However, this pastes only values which is not my intention, I have tried other PasteSpecial types such as xlPasteAllUsingSourceTheme etc, but these types would return the error 'Run-time error '1004: PasteSpecial method of Range class failed'.

What could have caused this error in this context?

Any how do I paste my desired merged cells into another worksheet of another workbook exactly the same?

Your With blocks are not actually doing anything at the moment. Your code could be simplified to just:

ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Data").Range("A1:Q20").Copy Destination:=Workbooks("other workbook name.xlsx").Sheets("Destination Data").Range("F20")
dataworkbook.Close
